My Approach as an Eating Disorder Therapist In Palo Alto, CA
I believe that full recovery from an eating disorder is possible, and this belief is at the center of my work with clients across Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, and Los Altos, CA.
I offer virtual eating disorder therapy throughout California for individuals who feel exhausted by constant thoughts about food and their bodies. Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful individuals who may seem “fine” on the outside, but feel stuck or overwhelmed internally.
As a person-centered therapist, I see you as a whole person, not as a diagnosis. Healing happens when you feel genuinely understood, not judged or reduced to a set of symptoms. I work to meet you exactly where you are, offering both compassion and practical tools you can begin using right away.
While treatment is always individualized, I often draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to support lasting change. My work is Health at Every Size-informed, and I believe this is essential in helping clients move toward a more peaceful, sustainable relationship with food and their bodies.
I am also personally recovered from an eating disorder, which allows me to hold a deep understanding of both how difficult recovery can feel and how possible it truly is. Supporting others in finding that same sense of freedom is incredibly meaningful to me.
I offer a discreet, supportive, and highly personalized therapy experience for clients seeking specialized eating disorder treatment in Palo Alto and surrounding areas. I have experience working with public figures and high profile individuals.
I am currently accepting a limited number of new clients. If openings are full, I am happy to provide referrals or add you to the waitlist.
