Number of years treating patients with eating disorders: 5-8 years
Number of patients with eating disorders I treat annually: 15+
EDUCATION, TRAINING, and EXPERTISE: I have a family history with eating disorders, so I have been around them my whole life. In addition to this, I have been trained in DBT and CBT as well as EMDR. I have worked in residential, PHP, and IOP eating disorder settings and am currently working on getting my CEDS.
TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe the relationship between client and therapist is a fundamental part of the healing process. As therapy is not a one size fits all model, I am dedicated to providing individualized treatment to my clients so they can focus on being their best selves. While I have experience working with a variety of populations; my area of focus lies with eating disorders and the co-morbid diagnosis that accompany them. Throughout my time working in the various levels of mental health and eating disorder care, I have learned how difficult it can be to navigate which treatment path is right for you. To aid in making this process easier, I will be providing comprehensive eating disorder assessments and consultations to help individuals find the level of care that best meets their needs.
I also provide eating disorder assessment and consultation. Providing assessments allows me to support individuals in who may be participating in behaviors but unsure of the extent or what next steps should be taken. Consultation allows me to support fellow clinicians who are working with eating disorders, but might not have as much experience with them.
