Eating Disorder Therapy

Eating Disorder Therapy

I have been working with eating disorders since the early 2000s, with nearly two decades of experience supporting adolescents and adults. I am considered an expert in the field, regularly studying and writing about eating disorders, and teaching at the William Alanson White Institute as part of the Steering Committee for the Eating Disorder, Compulsion, and Addictions programs.

I take an eclectic, evidence-informed approach that blends psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, and body-focused strategies. This approach addresses both the underlying causes of disordered eating and the impact on the body and nervous system, helping clients develop a healthier relationship with food, movement, and their bodies.

I work with clients to cultivate balance and flexibility around food, supporting enjoyment without guilt or restriction. My practice is open to those with a diagnosed eating disorder as well as those who want to reduce stress or rigidity around food. I also work with families who are looking for guidance in supporting a loved one navigating disordered eating.

Over-Exercising
Excessive exercise can become a compulsion that interferes with daily life, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. While not always linked to an eating disorder, it is often tied to body image or self-criticism. Together, we can explore ways to integrate movement that feels enjoyable and supportive, without being driven by anxiety or perfectionism.
