eating disorders

Eating disorders do not discriminate. This means that anyone of any race, gender, religion, age, and body size, etc. can experience an eating disorder. If you believe that yourself or a loved one is experiencing symptoms, please reach out. 

People who wish to work with me must be appropriate for an outpatient level of care. Current and prospective clients must be:

1. Medically stable (cleared by a professional)

2. At least 85% of recommended body weight

3. Can manage/reduce purging or exercise behaviors

4. Actively motivated to participate in treatment

** People who do not met this criteria may need a higher level of care such as intensive outpatient treatment, residential treatment, or hospitalization** 

My philosophy when treating eating disorders is rooted in mindful eating, body positivity, and social justice. In therapy, I will help you grow a healthy relationship with food, learn to listen to your hunger cues, and foster self-love. I offer a compassionate and holistic treatment experience. 

Most people I work with struggle with more than one issue. Often times this means folks come to me with eating issues AND depression or anxiety. Some people have trauma or another co-occurring mental issue, others have co-occurring physical health problems. No matter the complexity, I am here for it. 

Do you think you might have an eating disorder?
