Therapists

I love working with families and couples to help with eating and body issues. My background is in marriage and family therapy and the intersection of this area and eating/body issues are my passions. I work with families and couples to provide therapy and necessary resources for the entire family system. I generally work from a systems perspective to find the role of the eating and body issues and find other workable ways to meet this same need. I offer support groups for families and individuals as well.

We understand that eating disorders are not “black and white”, and every child is different. We also know that early intervention in eating and body image concerns results in better outcomes. The evidence-based methods we use are rooted in science to help children and adolescents improve and overcome their own unique mental health struggles.

We begin each relationship with an initial consultation, in which we take the time to get to know your child’s particular struggles and concerns with eating and body image, mood, anxiety and fears, and any concerns related to experiencing trauma.

I offer a supportive, empathic, and non-judgemental approach in my sessions. I have experience working with children and teens of all different ages in my previous work as a school social worker, and community mental health worker in the Chicago area.

I specialize in working with clients who live with ADHD, Anxiety, Body Image & Eating Disorders, Depression, Gender & Sexuality, School Issues, and Stress & Trauma.

I take a trauma-informed, holistic, and client-centered approach to therapy. I recognize every client is unique and requires an individualized approach to treatment. Informed in a number of different frameworks including, cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic person-centered, play, and mindfulness-based approaches. I also operate from a Health at Every Size® framework and am currently working on my Intuitive Eating Counselor certification. I am fat-positive and weight neutral. My main goal for every person I work with is to help them understand themselves better, and treat themselves with compassion.

Are you tired of feeling judged from medical professionals (therapists included) based on your weight? But you may also want to have a space where you can talk about self-esteem, self-image, eating habits, and overall health without feeling shame or a need to be defensive. I can offer you a space to do this without the judgment that often happens. We can process through your own relationship with food, body image, and health. We will work together to understand the impact that society has on our values. I strongly believe that every body is a good body and hope to help people feel more comfortable with themselves. If you are interested in seeing if I may be a good fit for what you are looking for, please don't hesitate to reach out and set up a free 15 minute consultation.

I am a NYC-based therapist, specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, trauma and body image dissatisfaction. I approach treatment through a Health at Every Size, fat positive, weight neutral, social justice and trauma-informed lens. I am in the processes of becoming a Body Trust Certified Provider through Be Nourished and have extensive training in evidence-based treatment models (DBT, DBT-PE, CBT-E and ACT).

I specialize in working with eating disorders, disordered eating and body image issues using a weight-inclusive and compassion-focused approach. I provide evidence-based interventions for adolescents and their families, as well as adults (Family-Based Therapy, Enhanced Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy).

I am a weight neutral HAES aligned therapist. I work with parents using Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility, I am trained and certified in Intuitive Eating and am passionate about helping parents raise children who have good relationships with food and with their bodies.

My approach is rooted in being an anti-diet, fat-positive, HAES-aligned clinician. Much of my work focuses on supporting people who are LGBTQ+, as I specialize in working with transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary individuals, as well as athletes, who struggle with eating and their relationship with food and exercise. I like to take a diverse approach in treatment, utilizing several theories in order to meet each client’s needs and goals. I draw on psychodynamic and relational orientations while using mindfulness, somatic, and cognitive techniques for emotional and relational healing. My treatment approach is informed by my experiences as a queer, non-binary person, and former athlete.
