We typically begin with weekly therapy sessions, although some individuals may need to come in more and some less in the beginning stages.

We will work together to identify what was going on when your eating disorder developed, how it serves you, and cultivate and learn new and more effective ways of coping. I often find elements of mindfulness and self-compassion in my sessions are most helpful for clients who struggle with eating disorders.

I work with all types of eating disorders including, but not limited to, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, chronic dieting, orthorexia, disordered eating, compulsive exercising, and poor body image. I utilize a variety of counseling theories and modalities including ACT, EMDR, mindfulness, intuitive eating principles, psychodynamic and Person Centered. I believe you are the ultimate expert on your own life, and it is my job to help you reconnect or discover the authentic parts of yourself that are often hidden beneath your eating disorder.

Perhaps one day you may realize for yourself that you don’t need to be perfect and that striving for perfection only leads to suffering. Imagine a life where you truly accept and embrace yourself for who you are…flaws and all. I believe you CAN gain a healthier relationship with your body, food and exercise to free yourself and live a richer, fuller and more meaningful life.
