Eating Disorder Therapy
I help teens and young women find peace around food and their bodies with understanding and acceptance.
My clients struggle as you do. Despite being smart, hard working, and supportive of those they love, life is hard.
When they first come in they experience difficulties looking at their bodies and find themselves ashamed, overwhelmed, and frustrated. They worry about every food they eat and may become obsessed with exercise, calories, or what’s “healthy.” They expend countless energy trying to manage their food and bodies while also trying to hide these efforts from family, friends, and loved ones. Their struggles with food and their bodies get in the way of the lives they want in so many ways. They aren’t the people they want to be. They feel like they’re failing as daughters, sisters, students, and friends. And their confidence in themselves is diminishing.
Before they came to see me they feared this was something they could never change. They worried about other’s perceptions of them more than they should. And they were pretty certain their lives would always revolve around goals, numbers, and achievements. The feeling of never being enough was eating them alive.
Like my clients, you deserve peace and enjoyment around food and your body. If you’d like to feel comfortable with yourself again, I’d love to help you get there. I will work with you and your treatment providers to provide the most comprehensive care for you.
Individual therapy
Maybe you struggle with what feels like unending stress in your life or you feel disconnected from your life. Despite trying your hardest, being a role model to others, or being a great friend, life is hard. You may feel like you're overwhelmed by all the things you need to accomplish, find yourself numbing out with social media, or feel like you cannot be in the moment during activities you usually enjoy. You aren’t the person you want to be and feel like you're failing others and maybe even yourself.
I work with clients who are very similar to you. They feel like this is just how life is, and their experiences will never change. Just like them, you deserve to have times of peace, joy, and happiness with your life and yourself. I'd love to help get you there.
Assessment Services
Assessment and evaluation services take a deeper dive into what you are experiencing. Information is gained on your background history and current symptoms through standardized tests, interviews, and record review. Assessment services may help clarify diagnoses, inform both psychological and medical treatment, and provide recommendations for school and home. I provide psychological evaluations, ADHD evaluations, and psycho-educational evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults. If you have any questions on assessment services, please do not hesitate to call. I’d love to help guide you on what evaluation services may benefit you or your child.
