Eating disorder therapy for teens, parents, families, and adults
Every path through an eating disorder is different. Whether you are coming for yourself, your teen, or your family, there is a way to work together that fits where you are right now.

FOR TEENS
Individual therapy for teens (14+)
Adolescence is already a lot. Adding an eating disorder to that makes everything harder. Individual therapy for teens offers a confidential, nonjudgmental space to talk about what is really going on, not just with food, but with friendships, family, identity, and the pressure of growing up.​​
​
I work collaboratively with teens and their parents, in a way that respects your teen’s voice and builds their own sense of agency.
A parent makes the first call and joins the first assessment, and parents stay part of the work throughout. We shape what that looks like together as things move forward.

FOR PARENTS
Sessions for parents
Watching your teen struggle with food is frightening, and most parents have already tried everything they can think of by the time they call. Parent sessions are time for you, without your teen in the room: what to do at meals, what to say and what to leave unsaid, how to hold a limit without a fight, and how to manage your own fear so it does not run the house.
There are many factors behind an eating disorder, and your support is what will do the most to move things forward. These sessions are how we make that support workable.
​
Parent sessions are the same length and fee as any other session, and can stand alone or run alongside your teen's individual work.
FOR FAMILIES
Family therapy
Family sessions bring parents and teens together to reduce conflict around meals, find steadier ways to talk about hard things, and strengthen the relationships that recovery depends on.
​
I bring all of my training to this work, along with Family-Based Treatment and Emotion Focused Family Therapy, depending on what fits your family best.
FOR ADULTS
Individual therapy for adults
Maybe you are just starting to recognize a problem, or you are struggling again after a long stretch of doing well. Either way, it is not too late.
We work at a pace that feels right for you, looking at the eating disorder and also at the fuller picture of who you are and what you are carrying.​

WHAT TO EXPECT
A consistent start matters
Early on, I usually recommend meeting more than once a week, because consistency at the start is what interrupts patterns before they set back in. We decide on frequency together, and it eases as things stabilize.
