Unresolved emotional conflicts lie at the core of human suffering at times life can be unusually painful, scary and confusing. We may feel anxious, sad, discouraged and alone and not know what to do. Talking things out with someone can help us become clearer about who we are, our strengths and also our self-defeating ways so we can move forward with an improved sense of self and direction. As a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I am an expert in clinical psychopharmacology and I treat all adult and pediatric disorders I see individuals from their early teens through middle age and beyond.

Life is an amazing and unpredictable journey we all share. It can bring joy, success, love and optimism, and also present extreme challenges, loss, sadness, grief and despair. We can feel overwhelmed or "stuck" at any age for many reasons related to debilitating symptoms, poor relationships, life transitions, illness, trauma, and personal circumstances. This can lead to depression, anxiety, mood swings and uncertainty about how to feel better and move forward. Regardless of what challenges you are facing, no situation is hopeless and there is always a path forward to a better you and and a better life.

FAQ - Eating Disorders Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with eating disorders?
Eating disorders are a group of serious mental health conditions characterized by disruptions in normal eating patterns and persistent negative thoughts related to body image and weight. Common eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). While many people experience occasional concerns about food or body image, eating disorders are distinct in that they significantly impair physical health and daily functioning. Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals play an important role in supporting recovery by helping individuals with eating disorders manage distressing thoughts and emotions while also promoting physical healing, including weight restoration when necessary.

How do psychiatrists treat eating disorders?
Psychiatric care typically begins with a comprehensive assessment to evaluate the individual's symptoms, medical status, and overall needs. This evaluation helps determine the most appropriate level of care. In some cases, a psychiatrist may recommend a higher level of support—such as inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, or an intensive outpatient program (IOP)—to first stabilize physical health and ensure safety before transitioning to outpatient psychiatric care. Once medically stable, clients can work with a psychiatrist on longer-term mental health goals, including managing mood, reducing distressing thoughts, and supporting sustainable recovery.

Psychiatrists who specialize in eating disorders are trained in both psychiatric evaluation and medication management. Although there are no medications that specifically treat eating disorders, psychiatrists may prescribe medications—such as antidepressants—to address symptoms like anxiety, depression, or obsessive thinking that often co-occur with or contribute to disordered eating behaviors. Some psychiatrists may offer psychotherapy themselves, though they often collaborate with a broader care team that includes therapists, dietitians, and primary care providers, each offering complementary support throughout the recovery process.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders?
Because not all psychiatrists are trained to treat eating disorders, it is important to seek a provider with relevant expertise. The Psychology Today online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists with experience in treating eating disorders. When reaching out to a potential provider, it's helpful to ask about their experience treating your specific diagnosis, how they integrate medication and therapy into treatment, and how they coordinate care with other treatment team members. Also consider practical factors such as appointment availability, telehealth options, and insurance coverage to ensure a good fit.
