My Approach to Therapy for Eating Disorders and Co-occurring Issues

Every client deserves a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. In therapy, I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), ensuring that care is both effective and individualized. My work is also grounded in the Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective.

I am deeply passionate about guiding clients toward healing from eating disorders, fostering self-compassion, developing a healthier relationship with food, and finding peace in their bodies.

I do this work because I understand the struggle. Every recovery story is different, but I know firsthand how consuming an eating disorder can be. I personally recovered from an eating disorder.

Supporting others in reclaiming the freedom I’ve found is incredibly meaningful. Being a therapist isn’t just a job—it’s my purpose, and I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.

** I currently have limited openings for new clients. If my schedule is full, I’m happy to connect you with other highly qualified clinicians.
