At Monte Nido, I held clinical and leadership roles, guiding clients through anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and body image challenges.
I’m constantly inspired by the growth people experience when they’re open to self-exploration.

Couples therapy is one of my greatest passions, and I specialize in helping partners rebuild trust, improve intimacy, and resolve conflicts—ultimately deepening their emotional bond and fostering lasting change.
With a PhD in psychology research and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, I take a compassionate, direct approach to healing, informed by over 10 years of clinical experience.

Together, we'll explore the root causes of your disordered eating behaviors and work to better understand them.
When you’re stuck in the spiral of food and body struggles, it can feel like you’re just getting through the day. Like everything is heavy, loud, and hard to untangle. You don’t have to hold it all on your own. If you or someone you love is feeling pulled by food rules, body shame, or the pressure to “do more” with exercise, there is another way. I work with adolescents, young adults, and families who are ready for something different, something more grounded, more freeing, and more aligned with who they actually are. I also support athletes who face the unique pressures of performance and identity in competitive spaces.

I assist clients experiencing anxiety issues in all its forms including depression, perfectionism, avoidance, eating disorders, obsessive/compulsive behaviors and self esteem issues.
My process begins by learning about client’s current experiences and then working together to explore, trace and investigate symptoms, feelings and thoughts to assist in growth and healing. I blend traditional therapy practices, such as talk therapy including psychoanalysis, with newer techniques such as CBT or ERP to help clients create a life of structure.

My current specialties include eating disorders, "personality disorders"/attachment trauma, and substance use.
Licensed in NY & NJ.
Some clients come to therapy with specific goals for behavior change, perhaps in their relationship with food or substances. Others come to therapy looking to shift the way they talk to themselves or others. And still some come to therapy looking to experience reflection, validation, and compassion in a safe relationship, perhaps for the first time. I will help you identify your goals, meet you where you are, and move at your pace. I use a relational approach, which essentially means I believe the therapeutic relationship is many times the crux of healing. I also call upon skills-based therapy as needed.

I work with individuals dealing with body image issues, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma.
Seeking therapy, or asking for help is not an easy step. And yet, if you are here, it is probably because you are looking for some answers, guidance, and a trustful environment where you can talk about whatever difficult situation you are going through. By taking the first step, you are showing courage and together we can help you learn to embrace your individual strengths to better cope with life hardships. In a warm, safe, and empathetic environment, I help people gain confidence, identify negative patterns, feel more in control of their own lives, and get a better understanding of what they want for themselves.

I have experience treating eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, amongst others.
I often describe therapy as climbing a mountain, sometimes the path feels steady, and other times you may need to pause, reassess, or find a new route. My role is to climb alongside you, offering support, reflection, and a non-judgmental space to show up as your authentic self, and build a toolbox to cope with whatever life brings.

Life can often feel overwhelming, and the impact of past and present experiences can have ripple effects into our work, relationships, health and wellbeing. You don't have to navigate it alone.

I believe that asking for help, and taking the first step with a new therapist is often the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I feel that there is not a one size fits all approach to therapy. We are all very different, we have varying life experiences and most of all we do not all process or feel things in the same way. I will help you identify your goals and objectives, and we will work towards them together. Life can become overwhelming at times and I will help you unload what can often feel like a huge the pile of dishes in the sink, but one plate at a time.

I bring a thoughtful, relational presence to the therapy room and work from a psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspective.

I also specialize in anxiety, OCD, mood disorders (including bipolar), executive dysfunction, disordered eating, complex trauma, & body image.
Sometimes your past makes you feel like you’re caught in a spider web. Maybe you’re always exhausted and don’t have the energy or capacity you used to. Or you feel vaguely bad or insecure in yourself & your relationships but can’t say exactly why. Perhaps you can’t go in any direction because you always get pulled back or can’t bring yourself to make decisions.
You’ve been your only advocate for a long time, but you don’t have to go it alone. Together, we can figure out who you are when you have the space to think. We can untangle what’s behind these emotions so you can start feeling like yourself again and begin to move forward.

Something happened – something scary and overwhelming – and life hasn’t been the same since. You find yourself avoiding close relationships or social events because you just can’t tolerate the fear that they trigger. You notice that you’re much more reactive than you used to be – loud noises, sudden movements, unexpected events – they all provoke a burst of anxiety. And no matter your intention, no matter how much time passes, you keep reacting, you stay hypervigilant, you look for danger everywhere. When this goes on for some time, it’s easy to become despondent, overwhelmed, and exhausted. This doesn’t feel okay – not anymore.

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.
