I work with mild to moderate eating disorders and body image concerns.

For many of my female-identifying patients, lifelong dislike of and preoccupation with their own body, size, or shape is part of their experience of being a woman in our culture. Although we cannot easily change cultural norms, I can help you change your response to external messages about your body — and help you to create a gentler stance towards your self.

While many of my patients are straight/heterosexual, I am also attuned to how body image issues within the LGBTQ+ community may manifest differently than for straight individuals. For instance, gender dysphoria can contribute to changes in eating habits and exercise, due to a desire to have a more feminine- or masculine-presenting body. As another example, body norms and expectations for gay, cisgender men are often quite rigorous when compared with expectations for straight, cisgender men.

I often recommend starting with a full physical examination from a physician and ongoing, collaborative care with your physician, as well as a nutritionist or other members of a treatment team.

I want to make sure that you get the care that is right for you. Due to the limitation of telehealth and solo practice, if I determine that you would benefit from more frequent or intensive treatment for body image concerns or eating disorders, I will help you find another provider or treatment center.
