Obesity Therapists in Washington, DC

There is nothing like being listened to and understood on a deep level, with genuine interest and acceptance. This is what I strive to offer in therapy or analysis, as we explore together your hopes and dreams, your losses and regrets, your longings and fears. Many people come to therapy to free themselves from self-defeating patterns and the legacy of past traumas, so they can be more truly themselves in relation to others and live with greater satisfaction and meaning. My analytic training enables me to work intensively, and I enjoy incorporating experiential techniques like journaling, psychodrama, and art.

If your eating feels out of control or you just want to call a truce between loving your body while also working to be healthier, my team can help. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space to address these & other health/wellness concerns is our goal. We work simultaneously on practical, behavioral strategies to address your current eating/weight struggles as well as explore their root causes (biological, psychological, social & more). Years of dieting, pre/post surgery, medications, & all other histories are welcome. We are gentle, direct, & compassionate. With support, encouragement & evidence-based treatment, you can feel better.

When your body is in distress, your mind and mood suffer. Whether you want to address your weight, pain, disordered eating, stress, living with a chronic disease, recovering from an illness, or adjusting to a new medical condition, I can help. I also support care partners of those with chronic illness. As a board-certified rehabilitation psychologist, I emphasize a holistic approach to well-being and support people in leading a values-filled life that recognizes personal strengths, reduces shame and promotes self-compassion, encourages collaboration, and meets you where you are non-judgmentally.

Do you find yourself often thinking, I know what I need to do, I just have a hard time doing it? I hope I can help you understand that and consider what you want, why you want it, and how best to approach it. My practice is a warm, safe space to help you bring your deepest wants and worries to the surface in order to live the life you have wanted. I aim to walk through the therapeutic process with you, by your side - through old wounds and/or difficult current dilemmas - in order to experience positive change.

Or, maybe your eating patterns are leading you to feel like you are losing yourself and you want to make some changes? I specialize in treating grief/loss concerns and overeating behaviors. No matter what form it takes, loss can be incredibly upsetting, challenging, confusing, and disorienting. As your therapist, my goal is to support and guide you as you make meaning, cope, heal, and grow.

My role is to help you examine and work through your feelings in order to remove emotional weight and expand your comfort zone in a supportive and safe environment.

Are you struggling to have a healthy relationship with yourself or with others? Does it often feel like happiness comes more easily to other people than it does to you? Or that somewhere along the way, you stumbled or lost your way, and are fighting to find it again? Let me assure you that you deserve and are capable of joy and growth. My work has shown me that happiness does not mean feeling "good" all the time, but rather being strong enough to tolerate all that life throws at us. Maybe you have been thrown an awful lot.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

As children, we are learning from interactions with our parents who we are and how to fit into the world around us. After we leave home, we become our own parents as we continue to learn about ourselves and how to find our own place in life. And when we have families of our own, we are now parents both for our children and for ourselves, as we continue to understand more about who we are. I provide a warm, empathic and accepting environment where you can explore your current life challenges, as well as address past issues that impact your everyday life.
