Do you worry that your teen has symptoms of Anorexia, Bulimia, or Binge eating? Eating Disorders typically develop during the teenage years or early adulthood and girls are much more likely to struggle with an Eating Disorder than boys. If you have noticed your teenage daughter worrying excessively about weight even though weight is not an issue, compulsively exercising, or being overly self-critical about her body image, it may be time to talk to one of our adolescent specialists to see how we can help. Call or email today to get the support you and your teenager need while moving past this crippling disorder.

In my psychotherapy practice, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for patients struggling with eating disorders. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and nutritional guidance to address the emotional and psychological aspects of disordered eating. I work collaboratively with patients to develop healthier relationships with food and body image, empowering them to achieve sustainable recovery and improved well-being.
