Hello folks! At this time, I continue to share my passion for DBT and EMDR in the treatment of traumas and challenging life circumstances. This year, I am taking time to focus on supporting fellow mental health providers seeking therapy, social workers seeking licensure, and those suffering from perinatal loss. Our therapy sessions together would primarily take place via tele-health (HIPAA-secure web video). I do have in-office availability on Mondays and Thursdays. I am currently accepting most insurances for Virginia, as well as insurances for Florida residents. Please contact our office for more information: (804) 924-2236.

I have a strong interest and experience working with individuals with eating disorders, particularly anorexia and bulimia.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor specializing in individual, couples and family therapy. Also, I successfully completed Brené Brown’s Daring Way Certification in September 2017. My treatment approach is to provide support with insight and feedback to help clients address current challenges and long-standing issues. With sensitivity and compassion, I draw from different styles and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual. Together with each client, I work to build on strengths and achieve life goals.

I work with individuals and their families, and couples specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, eating disorders/disordered eating, relationship issues, and issues associated with life transitions.
I believe that therapy is a place to explore who we are and how we want to move forward with our lives. It is a space to look at what is holding us back and impeding our own personal growth. My approach is to work together with individuals to unearth current and past dysfunctions that are no longer working for them and to help navigate a new way for clients to see themselves and the world around them. I help clients examine their patterns of thought, feelings and behaviors and explore the impact of their past and current relationships on their present life.

Some of my areas of particular specialty include: grief/bereavement, childhood trauma, culturally-based trauma, eating disorders, personality disorders, suicidal thoughts and self-injury, and identity concerns/life transitions.
My goal as a therapist is to help empower my clients to build fulfilling and meaningful lives that are in line with their values; for some clients that might mean getting support in exploring what a meaningful life means to them. Others may already have specific goals in mind and are looking for support in the form of skills and tools to get there. There is no one “right way” to be a healthy, fulfilled person. I am especially passionate about working with polyamorous, queer, and neurodivergent adults, and I strive to provide affirming and culturally humble care to all my clients.

After years of experience working with eating disorders at all levels of care, I understand those complexities and the sensitive nature of this type of work.
I specialize in working with those with eating disorders/disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and the host of challenges that often accompany them. I have a unique specialty in working with ARFID, or highly selective/avoidant eating patterns. I also work with parents of picky eaters who want to help their child become a more confident, intuitive eater.

I have a unique specialty in working with ARFID, or highly selective/avoidant eating patterns. I also work with parents of picky eaters who want to help their child become a more confident, intuitive eater.
My primary focus is the treatment of eating disorders, having experience at Residential, Partial Hospitalization, and Intensive Outpatient levels of care, working with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, disordered eating and addressing body image.
Whether you're just beginning your journey or continuing your recovery, I am here to support you. I encourage and support clients through their journey of recovery through learning and implementing self-care, self-advocacy and increasing self-worth. I believe there is no perfect trajectory in recovery, and each success and challenge can benefit our work together. Most often underlying issues of depression, anxiety, and trauma can be addressed, which can help work through what purpose the eating disorder is serving. I practice through a person-centered lens, focusing on a Health at Every Size and All Foods Fit mentality.

I have specialized in women's mental health for over 30 years with particular specialities in eating disorders, sexual abuse and lesbian issues.
I use a very eclectic approach in which I am engaged and actively involved in the therapeutic process. I ask lots of questions. I invite my patients to move away from self-judgment and to be truly curious about themselves and their lives. We look together at patterns of functioning, at assumptions about the self, at how the present reflects the past. The goal is authenticity and the path is self-awareness.

I specialize in helping clients struggling with eating disorders.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on themselves, and the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in creating change. It is important to have a safe, empowering, and supportive environment in order to examine hurtful relationship patterns and emotional difficulties, and in turn change negative self-evaluations to better respond to life's challenges. I am genuinely interested in and committed to helping my clients gain insight and express their needs in order to engage in more healthy relationships and live the life they want.

In addition to eating disorders, I am passionate about working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, adjustment concerns, high school and college students, identity, and more.
Do you criticize yourself every time you look in the mirror? Rely on unhelpful coping skills, and perhaps feel stuck? As a therapist, I am here to help you develop insight into your behaviors and how they serve you. Together, we can work through “the whys” and help you shift the way you think and act. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. I pull from person-centered and psychodynamic theories, CBT, and ACT in my work, but always work to collaborate with clients and tailor sessions toward your needs.

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.
