My work focuses on supporting people navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, body dysphoria, OCD, Binge eating, tics/tourettes, hoarding, and the unique experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals.
Do you constantly feel a sense of dread? Do you spend hours wondering “what if I’m a bad person?” or maybe, you go over scenarios and events in your head trying to remember if you did something bad or inappropriate? Sometimes our brains can feel like our worse enemies, it can convince us that people hate us or that maybe we don’t really love our partner or in some cases, like we could harm someone even if the mere thought makes us panic. It can make you believe that you’re not thin enough, muscular enough, smart enough, or that your stomach is too big and everything will go wrong if you don’t lose weight.

Each person brings to therapy a unique life story that deserves to be heard in a trusting and respectful environment.

We will move through the sessions at a pace that feels safe and meaningful and we will build a therapeutic collaboration that enables us to explore your thoughts and feelings with nonjudgmental curiosity and kind openness to your life experiences.

Symptoms tell a story. Anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, or other forms of emotional anguish, are deeply painful, but they are rarely the whole picture. Rather than seeing symptoms as problems to eliminate, I approach them as expressions of something deeper that is asking to be understood. My work is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy, with a focus on understanding the emotional patterns and relationships that shape how we experience ourselves and others. As that understanding develops, change often follows in ways that are lasting and meaningful.

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.

This work aims to enhance your relationship with yourself, eliminate painful patterns and allow for increased quality and enjoyment of life.

The hardest things we can ever do are identify what makes us the way we are and challenge our mindset to support ourselves in becoming the person we want to be. Throughout our lives we create tools and mindsets to support ourselves in living in a world full of troubling experiences and struggling transitions. Eventually we reflect and see that our mental health is a product of our strength to survive the difficulties we have endured.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t what happened, but how it’s still showing up. You may notice anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere, reactions that feel bigger than the moment, or patterns you understand intellectually but can’t quite shift. Many people come to therapy not because something is wrong with them, but because their nervous system learned to adapt in ways that no longer fit their life today. Therapy can help make sense of these patterns and create real change.

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.
