Eating disorders can feel hopeless, but they aren’t. Whether this is your first time seeking help or your umpteenth time, I believe everyone can recover. Just as there are many reasons why an eating disorder manifests in your life, the way you recover will be just as unique. If there were a one-size-fits-all solution, that would perhaps be as deceptive as the problem itself. Whether it’s perfectionism, judgment, loneliness, self-improvement, health, fear, family issues…Together, we will discover what invites these problems into your life and begin to find what recovery means for you.
I've been in the war zone of an eating disorder & come out the other side. Now recovered, I love working with others to discover their version of recovery & find out what is keeping them from living the life they desire. Problems don’t develop in isolation but they do grow there. Through conversations, we'll create space to discover your hopes & preferences.
Finding a therapist that “gets you” is super important & also overwhelming. It's like trying to find a pair of a great pair of jeans - maybe worse! Let's get started. I offer a 20-minute discovery video call (or phone call). Eating disorders are strong; they need something stronger to overpower them. I want to help you uncover what that is for you.

Groups
SupportED Spoonies: ED Recovery w/Chronic Illness
An online support group for those navigating eating disorder recovery while living with a chronic health condition/non-visible disability. Join us in a space where you can meet others who may validate, encourage, and understand your experiences. Meetings will include discussions around self-advocacy, mindfulness, experiences of discrimination, and self-care. We will explore what it means to live in a body that can not be “fixed” and instead, start thinking about the notion that we can be both “well” and “sick”, and what possibilities this may open up.
