I work with clients who may be struggling with body acceptance, eating disorders or related behaviors, and finding identity in a world full of messaging about who one should be.
You might be feeling stuck in habits or mindsets that just aren’t working anymore: anxiety, low mood, body image stress, eating struggles, or the pressure of constant performance. Maybe you’re trying to trust yourself more, feel at home in your body, or finally make space for what you actually need.
You're figuring out who you are, or trying to break old cycles and show up differently for yourself and the people you care about. Together, we can slow down, tune into your inner signals, and make space for the parts of you that need attention, compassion, and clarity.

I consider my role as therapist to be one of the most sacred parts of my life. Not because of my own effort, but because of the beauty inherently found in walking alongside people in search of safety, meaning, belonging, healing, hope, and love. In and through each therapeutic relationship I build, I walk away changed and inspired by people’s capacity to forgive, grow, accept, change, and see the beauty in themselves and the world around them. Nothing brings me more joy than instilling hope and witnessing the magic of others overcoming difficult experiences.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, disordered eating/body image, perfectionism, trauma and resilience with close attention to and incorporation of your intersecting identities.
You may be reaching out for support at this time because you’re feeling stuck. When meeting with my clients for the first time and discussing what brings them to therapy, most share that they have tried everything that they can think of to address their concern. Perhaps they’re used to being able to “figure it out” independently but the current issue feels insurmountable. My approach to therapy is walking alongside you as you explore different parts of yourself, better understand your thoughts and emotions, reflect on where long-standing patterns may have come from, and move towards actions that align with your values.

I am a somatically integrated therapist and specialize in eating disorders, body image, anxiety, and trauma.
I believe that all bodies are good bodies and align with Health at Every Size(TM). You might be thinking "So then why do I have so much shame about my body?" Your beliefs about your body have been shaped through the media, health education, doctor's visits, television, magazines, and so much more. They may also have been passed down from a parent or caregiver who is also influenced by the same biased belief that thin bodies are better, healthier, and more worthy than bigger bodies. The way you feel about your body is not your fault. Healing is possible.

Welcome, I'm Eva.
Sometimes words aren't enough to hold all that we feel- grief, anxiety, perfectionism, or the quiet sense of being stuck. Art gives us another language, a way to move what's inside to the outside, where it can be seen and understood.
In my downtown Raleigh studio, surrounded by a wide variety of art materials, we can explore together how creativity can support your healing. If you prefer, we can also meet virtually, bringing the same process to the comfort of your own space.
You don't need any art experience- just curiosity and a willingness to try.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with eating disorders & ARFID, body image disturbance, ADHD, trauma, & anxiety/mood concerns.
At times, we all need to be validated and affirmed to feel understood and seen. But to make long lasting changes, we also need to be challenged. As your therapist, I can do both. I work with clients who want to take responsibility for themselves and their lives. Who are willing to step outside of their comfort zones bit by bit to change unhelpful patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Instead of circling around the same old things that are keeping you stuck, together, we will identify strategies that allow you to fully participate in your life.

Eating Disorders Therapists
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
