Disorders can look different for everyone. Some people restrict food, binge eat, purge, or feel consumed by thoughts about food, weight, or body image. Others may struggle with chronic dieting, guilt around eating, or feeling out of control with food.

If food, body image, or weight concerns are taking up a lot of mental space or affecting your daily life, therapy can help you explore what’s going on and begin moving toward a healthier relationship with food and your body.

No. Many people seek therapy before ever receiving a formal diagnosis. If you’re struggling with food, body image, or eating patterns that feel distressing or difficult to manage, you are welcome to reach out. Early support can often make recovery easier.

I work with individuals experiencing a range of eating and body image concerns, including:

• Anorexia

• Bulimia

• Binge Eating Disorder

• Chronic dieting

• Emotional eating

• Compulsive exercise

• Body image distress

• Disordered eating patterns

I also support individuals who feel stuck in cycles of restriction, bingeing, or food guilt.

Eating disorder therapy focuses on understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors around food and body image. Treatment often includes learning skills to manage urges, reduce food and body preoccupation, regulate emotions, and challenge perfectionistic or black-and-white thinking patterns.

The goal is to help you develop a more balanced and compassionate relationship with food and your body.

Yes. Therapy can help individuals understand the emotional and behavioral patterns that contribute to binge eating while building healthier coping skills and a more balanced relationship with food.

Eating disorders are complex conditions that involve biological, psychological, and social factors. Therapy provides structured support to address these underlying patterns and support lasting recovery.

Yes. Many athletes and high achievers experience intense pressure related to performance, body image, and perfectionism. I work with individuals navigating eating concerns alongside competitive sports, performance demands, or high achievement environments.

Recovery looks different for everyone. Some individuals come to therapy for a shorter period to address specific challenges, while others benefit from longer-term support.

The length of therapy depends on factors such as the severity of symptoms, life stressors, and personal goals for recovery.

Yes. I provide secure virtual therapy sessions so clients can access support from the comfort and privacy of their own home.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for individuals who:

• Have busy schedules

• Travel frequently

• Feel more comfortable meeting from home

• Do not have access to a local eating disorder specialist

Research shows that virtual therapy can be highly effective for many individuals seeking support for eating disorders and body image concerns.

If appropriate, eating disorder treatment may involve collaboration with other professionals such as registered dietitians, physicians, or psychiatrists. With your permission, I can coordinate care with other providers to support a comprehensive treatment approach.

I am in-network with several insurance plans, including:

• Aetna

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts

• Cigna

• Carelon Behavioral Health

• Mass General Brigham Health Plan

• Optum

• Optum Live & Work Well

• UnitedHealthcare / AllSavers

• Allied Benefit Systems

• Meritain

• NYC Employees PPO Plan

If you plan to use insurance, I recommend contacting your provider to verify your outpatient mental health benefits.

Self-pay options are available for individuals who prefer not to use insurance or who may not have coverage. A limited number of sliding scale appointments may also be available.

The first step is reaching out through the contact form or email. From there, we can briefly connect to discuss what you're looking for and determine whether working together might be a good fit.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, but reaching out is often the beginning of meaningful change.
