Precision Psychotherapy for Complex Conditions
I treat individuals struggling with eating disorders, including Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED), ARFID, anorexia and atypical anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and orthorexia.
I also have expertise, training and experience serving folks struggling with eating disorders who are members of the LGBTQIA community, the orthodox Jewish community and who are athletes and dancers. I serve communities of color and the LGBTQIA population struggling with eating disorders and am particularly interested in eating disorders as social justice issue as they relate to issues of diversity, racism, and oppression.
Expert care for eating disorders, unexplained symptoms, and complex medical cases delivered with clarity, creativity, and real connection.
I operate from a harm reduction lens in all areas of my work with eating disorders. You will feel like you have autonomy. I have built my career on treating individuals with eating disorders and body image issues, having seen my mother and grandmother suffer greatly from Anorexia and Bulimia, as well as Borderline Personality Disorder.
I have seen how patients are dismissed and misdiagnosed. I treat a full range of eating disorders and atypical presentations. As a social worker, I offer comprehensive care that considers bio, psycho, social factors. I will work with your team and your support system to help you in your recovery. Whether you have identified that you struggle with an eating disorder, are newly diagnosed, or have years in recovery or simply curious about body image. You are not alone and you do not have to stay in shame.
