Eating Disorders Recovery
Individual Psychotherapy
Are you ready to break free from the exhausting cycle of food and body struggles? I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and freedom. Together, we can transform your relationship with food and your body into one of peace, trust, and self-compassion.
Recovery is possible, and you deserve to live without the constant mental chatter about calories, weight, and appearance. I offer compassionate, personalized treatment for adults who are ready to inhabit their bodies in an attuned and joyful way.
Parent Consultation
I provide treatment planning and support for parents and family members of teens and college students with eating disorders. Drawing on 27 years of experience, I help families guide their children toward complete recovery.
I work with parents to create effective teams of therapists, doctors, dietitians, and psychiatrists who can help their child overcome eating and body image struggles.
How I Help Family Members:
-
- Navigate confusing advice from different treatment providers
-
- Support their child’s dignity and independence during recovery
-
- Repair family relationships after Family Based Therapy (FBT)
-
- Maintain strong parent-child relationships throughout treatment
-
- Communicate positively about food and body image
-
- Help their child think critically about harmful social messages
-
- Trust their parental instincts about their child’s needs
-
- Rebuild their child’s ability to listen to their body’s hunger and exercise cues
-
- Foster self-love to resist negative outside influences
-
- Prevent high-risk behaviors like substance use, self-harm, and unsafe sexual activity
-
- Create a body-positive family environment
Let’s start with a conversation—I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation where we can connect, address your questions, and see if we’re a good fit for this important journey together. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
The Challenge
Combating body image and eating problems is strenuous, often frustrating work. Whatever your role in helping people make peace with their bodies, you’re working hard to mend disruptions in the natural, developmental process of positive embodiment. A disrupted relationship to the body can lead to poor self-care and overall life quality, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors (e.g., cutting, suicide), substance abuse, dieting and weight cycling, and relationship violence.
