​My Approach as an Eating Disorder Therapist

I take an individualized and compassionate approach to eating disorder treatment, meeting each client where they are in their recovery. As an eating disorder therapist in Maryland, I draw from person-centered, DBT, and ACT to help clients build skills for managing difficult emotions, tolerating distress, and reducing eating disorder behaviors, while also helping them reconnect with their values and sense of self.

I work from a Health at Every Size® (HAES)-aligned and weight-inclusive perspective, supporting clients in healing their relationship with food and body. I believe that this approach is crucial when it comes to eating disorder treatment, as well as therapy more generally. 

With children, I am rooted in child-centered play therapy techniques to help them express emotions, build coping skills, and navigate challenges in a developmentally appropriate way. I also collaborate closely with parents to support progress outside of sessions.

With teens and adults, I focus on building practical tools as well as working through underlying issues that contribute to the eating disorder. I help clients to move toward full recovery and a more meaningful, flexible life. I approach this work through a trauma-informed and multicultural lens and strive to create a space that is affirming of all identities and experiences.

I believe that full recovery is possible, and I feel honored to support clients in building a life that feels freer and more aligned with who they are.

*I am taking on a limited number of new therapy clients. If spots are full, I am happy to refer you to another clinician who specializes in eating disorders or put you on a wait-list. ​
