The first step is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation call. During this call, you’ll share a bit about what you’re hoping to work on in therapy, and I’ll tell you more about myself and my approach as a therapist. You’re also welcome to ask any questions you may have.

If we both feel that we may be a good fit, the next step is to schedule an intake assessment. This is a one-hour session where I gather more detailed information about your current eating disorder concerns, mental health, and personal history. Depending on your symptoms, I may recommend that you see a medical provider for bloodwork or an EKG to support your care.

After the intake assessment is complete, we will begin our regular therapy sessions.

Yes! You can participate in therapy from anywhere, as long as you are physically located in New Jersey. That’s one of the benefits of telehealth!

Most clients log on from their home, office, or even a private space like their car, as long as they have a secure internet connection and privacy.

For safety reasons, clients are not allowed to participate in therapy while driving.

Yes. If you are currently working with a dietitian, I will obtain your written consent to coordinate care and communicate with your dietician in support of your recovery. If you do not have a dietitian, I’m happy to provide a referral.

I also collaborate with other members of your treatment team, including psychiatrists and medical providers, to ensure comprehensive, coordinated care.

My hope is that working together will be a rewarding and supportive experience. I am nonjudgmental and strive to create a space where you can share the ins and outs of your eating disorder without shame or fear of judgment.

I take the time to truly listen to each client’s individual experience and help you feel heard, understood, and validated. At the same time, I consider myself an active therapist. I ask questions, reframe thoughts, teach skills, and recommend exposure practices when appropriate. My clients often say that I hold them accountable in a way that feels safe and encouraging.

I also show up fully and authentically in our sessions. Therapy is challenging and hard work, but we definitely laugh a little and enjoy our time along the way!

That’s completely okay. Many people feel unsure or conflicted about change, especially when it comes to food and eating. Starting therapy doesn’t mean you’re expected to change all your eating disorder behaviors right away. A big part of therapy is exploring motivation for change, which naturally ebbs and flows throughout treatment.
