Are you tired of constant thoughts about food, your body, or exercise? I’m passionate about helping you build a balanced relationship with food, find peace and acceptance in your body, and take steps toward a more fulfilling life. I’ll provide support, guidance, and empathy as we navigate the growth and change that come with eating disorder recovery. My approach is personalized and evidence-based. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS), I know eating disorders are never just about food.
In our work together, we’ll explore the underlying anxiety, perfectionism, and life stressors that keep you stuck in the eating disorder. I help clients develop more flexibility and find ways to cope that feel supportive.
If you’re ready to take a next step but aren’t sure what that looks like, therapy can help. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s keeping you stuck and work toward change that feels manageable. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we might be a good fit to work together.

I'm an out-of-network provider, which means I don't bill insurance. However, I'm happy to provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits.
