Eating Disorder & Body Image Therapy

Eat without guilt. Care for you body with kindness.

Virtual therapy for adults and teens in New Jersey

On the outside, you do everything right—you meet every expectation, keep things running smoothly, and nobody would suspect anything is off.

But on the inside, you’re constantly pulled in two directions with every bite, thinking about what you should or shouldn’t do:

  • Should I eat? How many calories?

  • Am I going to gain weight?

  • If I start eating, will I be able to stop?

  • I can’t keep this food down.

  • How long will I have to exercise to burn this off?

And your mind keeps circling back to your body:

  • Do they notice that I’ve gained weight?

  • If I lose just a little more weight, then I’ll be happy.

  • Will anyone love me if I look like this?

  • I really want to swim, but I can’t wear a bathing suit.

Take a deep breath. I know how exhausting this is, and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Whether you’ve been struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or other disordered eating patterns, the constant conflict around food can begin to ease, and eating can gradually become a way to nourish and take care of yourself, rather than something that consumes you with guilt.

You can begin to work toward a life that aligns with what you truly want—outside of dieting, food rules, and the pressure to change the size of your body.

If this feels familiar, you don’t have to face it alone.

I provide therapy for adults and teens in New Jersey who are struggling with eating disorders and body image concerns.

Our Services

Individual Therapy

Sessions are 50 minutes in length. In our first one or two sessions, we’ll spend time getting to know you and gathering information that helps me understand your relationship with food and your body, your eating disorder, and any other concerns you’d like to address. Together, we’ll then create a treatment plan that reflects your goals and what you hope to get out of therapy.

Most clients choose to meet weekly or biweekly for individual sessions, where we continue working towards those goals at a pace that’s supportive and sustainable.

All therapy services are offered through secure, HIPAA-compliant video telehealth sessions.

Group Therapy

Many participants find that healing alongside others helps reduce isolation and build a sense of hope and connection in recovery. Midlife and Beyond is a therapy group for women ages 30 and older who are working toward recovery from an eating disorder. The group meets weekly on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 PM. This group offers a supportive and confidential space to receive encouragement, share experiences, and gain insight from peers in a setting that is safe and non-judgmental.

Support for Families

Knowing how to support someone you care about through eating disorder recovery can feel confusing and overwhelming. Whether you are a parent, partner, or loved one, you may want to help but feel unsure of what to say or how to show up in a way that feels supportive.

These sessions focus on education, communication, and understanding, while honoring each person’s role and the unique needs of the recovery process.
