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 with their parents, to support recovery in a way that respects the young person's voice and builds their own sense of agency. For teens, a parent makes the first call and joins the first assessment, so we begin as a team. How involved parents are after that is something we figure out together.

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
Eating disorders affect the whole family, not just the person struggling. Family therapy brings everyone into the room to improve communication, reduce conflict around meals and behaviors, and strengthen the relationships that recovery depends on.
​
The focus is on how the whole family can work together so that healing becomes possible for everyone. I draw on Family-Based Treatment and Emotion Focused Family Therapy, depending on what fits your family best.
FOR ADULTS
Individual therapy for adults
Whether you are in the early stages of recognizing a problem, somewhere in the middle of recovery, or struggling after a long period of doing well, individual therapy offers consistent, dedicated support tailored to where you are right now.
​
We work at a depth and pace that feels right for you, addressing not just the eating disorder but the more complete 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 reset. Frequency is decided together and eases as things stabilize. Sessions are 45 minutes, by secure video or in person.
