Eating Disorder Treatment in Danville, California
I hold a deep belief that full recovery from an eating disorder is possible, and this perspective is at the heart of my work as an eating disorder therapist in Danville. My goal is to help clients move beyond feeling controlled by food, exercise, or body image concerns and toward a fuller, more meaningful life.
As a person-centered therapist, I take a highly individualized approach to eating disorder therapy. I see each client as a whole person rather than a diagnosis. Whether someone is struggling with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, or chronic body image distress, I aim to create a space where clients feel genuinely understood, supported, and respected. I meet clients with warmth, discretion, and practical tools that can be applied in everyday life.
I provide eating disorder therapy for clients in Danville, Walnut Creek, San Ramon, Alamo, Blackhawk, and nearby communities, while also working with clients in Palo Alto, Los Altos, Menlo Park, Atherton, and throughout California through virtual therapy.
My practice is designed for individuals seeking a high level of personalized care, privacy, and specialized expertise. While every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, I often incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, to support lasting change. I practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES)-informed lens, which I believe is essential in helping clients build a more peaceful, sustainable relationship with food and their bodies.
As someone who has personally recovered from an eating disorder, I bring both professional training and lived understanding to this work. Helping clients find freedom from eating disorders is deeply meaningful to me, and it is a privilege to support that process.
I offer a limited number of therapy appointments in order to provide highly individualized care. If my schedule is currently full, I am happy to offer referrals to trusted clinicians or placement on a waitlist.

I'm not sure if I have an eating disorder. How Do I know?
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to begin getting help. If you're facing challenges related to food, eating behaviors, or how you feel about your body, you're not alone—and therapy can make a meaningful difference. We offer specialized support for disordered eating, body image concerns, and eating disorders.

For younger clients, including children and teens, we incorporate Family-Based Therapy (FBT) when it's a good fit. All of our therapists practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and have strong foundations in intuitive eating principles. Some clinicians may also include Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as part of treatment.

They’ll provide some background information and ask questions to learn more about you and how they can best support you. Therapy is a collaborative, supportive experience, so feel free to share your thoughts, questions, or any feelings that come up. This helps your therapist understand how to offer the most effective support. It may take a few sessions to gather the information necessary for making treatment recommendations. If you’d like more details before scheduling, you can request a free 15-minute consultation call.
If I travel or live outside of Danville, can I still see you?
