Hello and welcome! Are you or your child struggling with an eating disorder or body image issues and don't know where to start? Are you are feeling alone, overwhelmed, or uncertain about navigating eating disorder recovery? I have experience working with teenagers, groups, families, and adults as they work to build a life free of eating disorder behaviors and in alignment with their core values.
I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, body image and self-esteem challenges, and co-occurring disorders in children, adolescents, adults, and families. I utilize a strengths-based approach and support individualized coping skill development to help meet your needs.
Reaching out for help can be really tough. It takes tremendous courage to take the steps to receive support for you or your loved one's eating disorder. Whether you are just getting started or are looking for a space to continue your journey, I invite you to reach out to schedule a consultation call.

This group is a place where we focus on increasing skillful behavior and decreasing harmful behavior. Skills are learned and practiced in four different modules including Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. If you or a loved one are struggling with navigating this phase of your life, your emotions, and/or struggling with destructive behaviors (eating disorder behaviors, self harm, substance use issues, intensity in relationships, etc) this group will provide invaluable tools. The entire series is 28 weeks in length.
