Treatment Approach | Eating Disorder Therapy in Tampa, Florida

I believe that healing requires a personalized, thoughtful approach. My work blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) within a Health at Every Size (HAES) and neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Whether you’re a student at the University of Tampa, a young professional in Hyde Park, or a parent in Davis Islands—therapy can be a space for healing.
​
I guide individuals from disordered eating and body shame to a place of greater peace, self-compassion, and body trust. It’s work that’s close to my heart—because I know how painful and isolating it can feel to live trapped in an eating disorder. Having personally recovered, I empathize deeply with these challenges. 

It’s truly an honor to support others on this path to finding freedom from an eating disorder. I can’t imagine doing anything else.

If you or a loved one struggle with these issues, I encourage you to reach out for professional support. You are welcome to reach out to The Eating Disorder Center today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call and learn how we can help.

** I accept a limited number of new clients in Florida. If I’m currently full, I’d be happy to refer you to a trusted colleague or add you to my waitlist. Let's connect to find the best support for you.

Therapy is a collaborative and supportive process, so you're encouraged to share what's on your mind, including questions or feelings that might come up for you. This information helps your therapist understand how they can provide the best support for you.
