About

Watching your child struggle with eating, body image, or control around food can feel frightening and overwhelming. Many parents come to me feeling unsure of what’s “normal,” what’s serious, and how to help without making things worse. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults with eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, and body image distress. I also support teens and adults who are struggling with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or intense emotional distress that often co-occur with eating disorders. These behaviors can be scary for families, but are also treatable with the right support.
