Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
I collaborate with The Lotus Collaborative to provide outpatient therapy alongside a higher level of care when clinically appropriate, supporting continuity of care and individualized treatment goals through coordinated treatment.
Eating Disorders
Who is Eating Disorder therapy For?
I provide compassionate, individualized support for teens and adults of all genders and identities who are navigating challenges with food, eating behaviors, and body image. I work with individuals experiencing:
Anorexia Nervosa, including atypical anorexia and other forms of restrictive eating
Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
Bulimia Nervosa and other purging behaviors
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Compulsive exercise and difficulties finding balance with movement
Complex or overlapping eating disorder symptoms
Orthorexia
Co-occurring mood and trauma
You don’t need a formal diagnosis or to meet specific criteria to seek support. If your relationship with food or your body is causing distress, your experiences are valid, and you deserve care.
My goal is to meet you where you are and work collaboratively with you toward a more peaceful, compassionate relationship with food and your body.
My approach to eating disorder therapy is rooted in weight-inclusive care and informed by the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES).
Therapeutic modalities I often lean on while working with clients:
Internal Family Systems
Relational Psychodynamic Therapy
Somatic Experiencing Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Expressive Art/ Movement
Treatment Program Referrals
Higher Level of Care Support:
Offering a trusted network of eating disorder professionals including therapists, dietitians, psychiatrists, and other specialists. If additional support is needed, I can help connect clients with the right providers and navigate referrals to higher levels of care, including specialized treatment programs and hospitals.
Trauma and Mood
Trauma therapy may be helpful if you
Have experienced trauma, including sexual, relational, developmental, or systemic trauma
Experience symptoms of PTSD or complex PTSD (C-PTSD), such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, dissociation, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, or persistent shame
Are navigating grief, betrayal, significant loss, or major life transitions
Struggle to feel safe in your body, relationships, or everyday life
Find yourself repeating unhealthy relationship patterns, even when you recognize the warning signs
Experience trauma responses, such as fight, flight, or freeze, alongside an eating disorder or OCD
You do not need to have a specific diagnosis or know exactly where to begin to benefit from trauma-informed support
I support clients in understanding their moods, navigating emotional challenge with compassion and curiosity.
Anxiety / Depression
Grief
LGBTQ+
Peer Relationships
Personality Disorders
Relationship Issues
Stress
~ Though this is not an exhaustive list.
Family and Couples Support
I offer family and couples counseling to help strengthen communication, navigate challenges, and foster greater understanding and connection. Whether you’re supporting a loved one through recovery or working through relationship difficulties together, I strive to create a space where everyone feels heard, supported, and understood.
