Eating Disorders Therapists in Boston, MA

Seeking out therapy is a courageous and hopeful act, and I commend you for taking the first steps. I welcome you into a warm and collaborative therapeutic relationship where we can non-judgmentally examine barriers to creating the life you want to live. Building the awareness of what's holding you back unlocks the potential to move forward. I utilize an eclectic approach to guide, support, coach and encourage you along the way, assuring that you are not alone in the process. I specialize in treatment of eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues that interfere with self-acceptance.

Starting therapy can be the first step in making meaningful change in your life. You may be seeking therapy to explore a problem, change a pattern, recover from depression or anxiety, or improve relationships with others. Perhaps you are struggling with food or body image. If you are questioning your sexual orientation, coming out, and/or navigating gender identity, therapy should be a space where you feel seen and understood. Whatever your situation, it is possible to gain insight, solve problems, feel better, and be the best version of you.

Hi, Im so glad you are HERE. Eating disorders are highly misunderstood. They don't have 'a look' and at times can feel 'normal'.

Together, through a supportive, non-judgmental relationship we will determine your specific recovery needs and work towards creating a value driven life. Recovery is possible.

I specialize in working with adolescent and young adult in the area of anxiety, eating disorders and gender/sexuality. My clients are able to change behaviors such as avoiding, restricting, ruminating, indulging, escaping into effective coping strategies. As confidence and motivation increases, I have seen my clients develop an authentic version of themselves by gaining insight into their thoughts and behaviors, building awareness around their relationships with others and challenging unhelpful coping behaviors.

⁣I know how easy it is to want to give up pursuing food freedom. To want to go back to the diet.⁣ But here is what I want to remind you: ⁣You are worth it and recovery is worth fighting for. This is a journey of growth and change that will give you the life you deserve. This is you becoming strong. My goal as your therapist is to help you build upon your strengths, gain insight into patterns of behavior you would like to change, and enhance your self-understanding. I don't want you to just survive, I want you to thrive.

I primarily treat clients who struggle with eating disorders, body image concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. I often times see clients who struggle with deeper parts of themselves, such as trauma, relationship issues, gender/sexuality issues, etc., that manifest in their relationship with food or self. I want to support clients in both understanding how deeper issues of self affect external behaviors, as well as how to create more adaptive and sustainable coping. I have worked in all levels of eating disorder treatment and have worked with many co-occuring diagnoses.

Whether entering therapy for symptom relief, a desire for greater self-understanding, or to cope with a particular crisis, I am committed to helping clients achieve their goals.

Using telehealth, I am able to work with adults from various professional, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds who reside in IL, MA, and PSYPACT participating states.

Difficult emotions or life circumstances can get in the way of feeling fully present and engaged in life.

I use anti-diet and HAES (Health At Every Size) principles and strongly believe in reinforcing self-compassion.
