Online (Virtual) Therapy
-
​Online Therapy (Teletherapy) sessions are similar to traditional mental health sessions in that licensed therapists use traditional therapy techniques and activities. However, instead of sitting in the same room, clients and therapists interact via live video conferencing.​​​
​
-
Online therapy provides the same level of care and confidentiality as in-person sessions, while giving you flexibility to fit therapy into your life more easily. Meeting virtually allows you to access professional support from the comfort of your home, office, or any private space, without the need to travel. ​​​

Individual Therapy for Adults with Eating Disorders
For many adults, struggles with food, body image, or self-criticism have been present for years, often serving as ways to cope with deeper emotional pain. Individual therapy offers a private, supportive space to examine those patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Using an integrative approach that draws from psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, and attachment-based models, we work to understand the emotions and experiences that maintain the cycle of disordered eating or dissatisfaction. Sessions are tailored to your personal goals, helping you reconnect with your body, strengthen emotional regulation, and build self-trust. Over time, therapy fosters genuine self-acceptance and balance, allowing life to expand beyond the eating disorder.
Individual Therapy for Teens with Eating Disorders
Adolescence can be an intense and confusing time, especially when self-worth, identity, and body image begin to feel tied to food or appearance. In therapy, teens have a safe, supportive space to express what they often can’t put into words elsewhere. Together, we explore the emotions, pressures, and patterns driving disordered eating, anxiety, or perfectionism. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each teen’s readiness, helping them learn new ways to manage stress, build resilience, and develop a more compassionate view of themselves. Parental involvement is included when appropriate, always with respect for the teen’s growing autonomy. Therapy helps teens reconnect with their sense of self, beyond the eating disorder, and discover that healing and confidence can coexist with change.
Family Therapy
​Eating disorders don’t just affect one person. They ripple through the entire family system. Family therapy provides a structured and compassionate space to rebuild communication, reduce tension, and create shared understanding. Whether you’re a parent trying to support a teen, or a family coping with recovery challenges, these sessions focus on improving connection and cooperation. Using elements of Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and attachment-based work, families learn to validate emotions, set healthy boundaries, and respond effectively to distress. Together, we create a more supportive environment that promotes recovery for the individual and healing for the family as a whole. When families understand how to approach the eating disorder with empathy and structure, everyone’s capacity for change and growth expands.
Support for Loved Ones
When someone you love is struggling with an eating disorder, it’s common to feel scared, helpless, or unsure what to do. Sessions are designed to give you clarity, education, and emotional support, so you can help without feeling consumed by worry or guilt. You’ll learn specific tools to respond to your loved one’s distress in ways that promote safety and trust, not control or conflict. In sessions, the focus is on caring for you: processing your own emotions, setting healthy limits, and staying grounded through uncertainty. These sessions help parents, partners, and siblings become stronger sources of stability and understanding.
Session Frequency
In the beginning stages of therapy, I often recommend meeting more frequently. Early, consistent sessions help us gain momentum and begin to loosen the eating disorder’s grip before it becomes further entrenched. Research shows that the sooner treatment starts, and the more steady the early contact, the better the chances of recovery.
​
Early progress, even small shifts, is one of the strongest predictors of long-term change. Meeting regularly allows us to catch difficulties early, strengthen motivation, and support the parts of you that are ready for health. As things begin to feel more stable, we’ll space sessions out to a rhythm that fits your life and supports ongoing growth. The goal isn’t to rush, but to give recovery a strong start, with the consistency and care it deserves.
Change is possible, and it starts with reaching out.
