Eating Disorders Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
I have experience working with adolescents and adults addressing a broad range of issues including eating disorders, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles.
Therapy is a powerful tool to aid in healing emotional pain and creating satisfaction in our lives. We often find ourselves repeating patterns that get in the way of achieving goals. These patterns can cause difficulty in relationships, feelings about ourselves and fulfillment in our work. I practice from a relational perspective which focuses on expanding the capacity to relate and connect freely with others while maintaining a good sense of yourself. This work aims to enhance your relationship with yourself, eliminate painful patterns and allow for increased quality and enjoyment of life.

I have specialized training in eating disorders/disordered eating, trauma, anxiety, and shame/perfectionism.
I work from a psychodynamic perspective or in other words, I am interested in how your past informs your present.

I love astrology and weave it into my work with those who also resonate with it.

I help people overcome body shame, eating disorders, anxiety.
Are you feeling burdened by anxiety, body shame, or reproductive mental health struggles? Maybe you're overwhelmed in mothering or quietly questioning your sense of self. You may feel stuck in patterns of fear, worry, or isolation and long for reassurance that it will all be okay. Now, more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Whether you’re navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, or the lingering effects of diet culture, you don’t have to go through it alone. Psychotherapy is a sacred space to listen to your inner wisdom and find greater peace.

Hi there, I'm happy you're here. I focus my work on helping women navigate the landscapes of emerging adulthood.

Take a breath– you don’t have to do it alone.

Specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, substance abuse, and trauma, I am also a regular presenter at conferences on topics such as diversity issues in the treatment of eating disorders, the client/therapist relationship, and the treatment of co-occurring eating disorder and substance abuse diagnoses.
Using authentic connection and skillful therapeutic strategy, I work with my clients to establish a safe environment for exploring the path that led to therapy. With direct and honest feedback I can help you build the awareness necessary to move toward a more fulfilling life, and learn the skills you'll need to take on, and find meaning in, inevitable challenges. Because each person carries a unique history and specific challenges, I am trained in a number of psychological theories including psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, DBT, ACT, Somatic Experiencing, and CPT.

I’ve worked with clients struggling with mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, past traumas, and interpersonal difficulties, and have witnessed how these struggles can make life feel a lot harder than it needs to be.
Have you had a rough year? Is “rough” an enormous understatement? Loneliness, worries about the world, fretting over what the future holds... You’re not alone in feeling a bit lost, down, and anxious, considering everything that’s happened in just this past year. But just by reading this, you’ve taken an incredibly important step. You’ve taken a step towards personal growth and increased well-being, and you deserve all of the support you can get along the way. I would love to meet you, and together, we can come up with a plan to make our time as beneficial as it can be for you.

As a DBT therapist I have experience working with borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, eating disorders, impulsivity, interpersonal difficulties and trauma.
At times we may feel like we are drowning in our emotions; making it challenging to think clearly or act effectively- often leading to desperate urges or behaviors to regain control over our emotions. I will work with you on decreasing emotion intensity & increasing capacity to cope with intense emotions.

I have helped those suffering from depression and anxiety, eating disorders and disordered eating (binge, restricting), major life transitions, grief and loss, relationship conflicts, complex trauma (such as emotional, physical, and sexual abuse), perfectionism, as well as struggles with shame, self-worth, and feeling abandoned.
I am a warm, interactive and compassionate licensed psychologist who sees young, middle-aged, and older adults for individual, couples, and group psychotherapy. I work from a psychodynamic and relational perspective, which means we look at the impact of your past and present relationships with family and friends, narrowing in on how they have impacted you, your sense of self, and your various identities/roles. You may be aware of these influences, but there’s a great chance we will uncover more. This work can be painful, so I balance our therapeutic work with humor and irreverence when appropriate to add levity to our time together.

I work with individuals who are interested in the mind-body connection and want to address eating disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, self-harm, etc.
It is not easy to find someone with whom to share your inner world. As a therapist, I seek to provide a secure holding space that can assist in containing those feelings, because I believe that having a judgement-free space to develop awareness is important to one’s mental health. In this process, I will help you explore all the different parts of yourself, even the ones that feel the most shameful or unwanted. This process allows you to gain a more dynamic sense of yourself by getting to know the parts that have been kept at a distance. I believe this work can help make the intolerable a bit more tolerable.

With 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, grief, and LGBTQ+ issues.
Imagine going through life being able to – emotionally, relationally, physically, truly – trust your gut. Therapy is an opportunity to learn how to do just that. My clients come from all walks of life, but they usually begin therapy with some version of the same core feeling: it’s all just too much. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed in daily life, navigating complicated relationships, wanting to heal your relationship with food or your body, or (re)discovering who you are – you're here because you need some support and you're daring to imagine that you deserve it. And you do!

And you do!
Although I treat a wide variety of mental health issues, my speciality is in eating disorders and body image concerns.
Therapy is a secure and private place for you to actively learn new ways of coping. I believe the most compassionate approach to therapy is to non-judgmentally teach concrete skills that have been shown by research to work. Whether you're under a lot of stress at work, feeling down, and/or are struggling with accepting your body, we can work together to develop and execute a plan. Your treatment will be results-oriented. Together, we will monitor your wellbeing over time and make adjustments as necessary to ensure that we are making progress.

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.
