Healing isn’t about becoming someone different.
It’s about understanding yourself more fully.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. You may know something isn't working, but struggle to understand why you keep finding yourself in the same patterns. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, disconnected from yourself, exhausted by perfectionism, or wondering why the strategies that once helped no longer seem to work.
Whether you're navigating an eating disorder, relationship challenges, high anxiety, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and move toward lasting change.
I work with adolescents, young adults, and women who are ready to better understand themselves, not because they're broken, but because they're ready to live with greater flexibility, confidence, and self-compassion.
Therapy that begins with understanding
Many people come to therapy hoping the anxiety will stop, the relationship will improve, or the eating disorder thoughts will quiet down.
While reducing symptoms matters, I don't believe that's the only place where meaningful healing begins.
Symptoms often develop for understandable reasons. They reflect the ways we've learned to cope, protect ourselves, or navigate difficult experiences. Rather than asking, "How do we make this go away?" we begin by asking, "What might this be communicating?"
Understanding those patterns creates the foundation for meaningful, lasting change, not because we're forcing something to disappear, but because we're building greater awareness, flexibility, and choice.
Therapy is about creating a relationship where you can explore your experiences honestly, understand yourself more deeply, and feel supported while making meaningful changes.
Together we may:
identify patterns that continue to show up in your life
explore how past experiences influence present relationships
strengthen your ability to tolerate difficult emotions
develop healthier ways of responding to stress and uncertainty
reconnect with your values and what matters most
build a more compassionate relationship with yourself
What working together
looks like
Areas we may explore together
Rather than treating problems in isolation, we look at how different experiences often influence one another, including:
Eating disorders and disordered eating
Body image and self-worth
Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
Perfectionism and achievement
Identity development and life transitions
Relationships, attachment, and boundaries
Burnout, stress, and competing expectations
No two people experience anxiety, perfectionism, eating disorders, or life transitions in exactly the same way. That's why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.
My work is relational, collaborative, warm, and grounded in evidence-based care while remaining deeply individualized. I draw from approaches including CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), interpersonal approaches, attachment theory, psychodynamic, and motivational interviewing, while integrating them based on your unique needs rather than following a rigid formula stuck to one specific type of technique.
Healing from the
Inside Out
Specialized Eating Disorder Expertise
As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Consultant (CEDS-C), I have advanced training in the assessment and treatment of eating disorders across multiple levels of care.
Over the past decade, I've worked not only with individuals in recovery, but also with multidisciplinary treatment teams and organizations to strengthen the quality of eating disorder care. That broader perspective allows me to recognize both the complexity of these illnesses and the individuality of every person's experience.
I don't view an eating disorder as simply a collection of behaviors to eliminate. More often, it has developed for reasons that make sense within the context of a person's life.
Together, we'll become curious about the role the eating disorder has played. We'll explore what it may be helping you manage, how it has protected you, what needs it has attempted to meet, and why letting go can feel both deeply desired and incredibly frightening.
Understanding these patterns isn't about justifying the eating disorder, but about recognizing that lasting recovery is rarely built through willpower alone. When we understand the function the eating disorder has served, we can begin developing healthier, more flexible ways of meeting those same underlying needs.
What you can expect
Therapy looks different for everyone, but there are a few things you can consistently expect when working with me:
✓ a space where you don't have to have everything figured out before you arrive
✓ a collaborative relationship built on trust, honesty, and respect
✓ thoughtful questions that help you uncover patterns you may not see yet
✓ practical strategies grounded in evidence-based care
✓ compassion balanced with gentle challenge that supports growth
✓ therapy that evolves alongside your goals rather than following a predetermined path
Therapy may be a good fit if..
You often find yourself:
✓ overthinking nearly every decision
✓ feeling responsible for everyone else's needs
✓ struggling to slow down or let go of control
✓ questioning your worth despite your accomplishments
✓ feeling disconnected from food, your body, or yourself
✓ wanting more than coping skills
✓ desiring to understand why these patterns exist and how to understand yourself more deeply
Fees & Scheduling
Individual therapy sessions are $275 per session.
I work primarily with clients who are able to commit to weekly therapy, as consistency often creates the foundation for meaningful and lasting change. A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may be available and can be discussed during your consultation. Superbills are available to submit to your insurance for OON reimbursement if desired.
Why Private Pay?
Choosing private-pay therapy allows our work to be guided by your needs rather than insurance requirements. This means therapy is not limited by diagnostic labels, session caps, or third-party oversight. Instead, we have greater flexibility to focus on the depth, pace, and goals that best support your growth, while maintaining a higher level of privacy and autonomy.
Locations
Virtual therapy is available for clients located in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Colorado, and Tennessee.
Getting Started
The first step is simply a conversation. During our consultation, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and explore whether we're a good fit.
