My Work With Treating Eating Disorders <3

Working with eating disorders has always been my goal on my journey to becoming a psychotherapist. It is still one of the areas of my work I am most passionate about.

In graduate school, I had the privilege to be chosen for a highly competitive internship at a nationally-known eating disorder treatment facility. There, I learned from the best of the best, and received so much invaluable training and experience.

As a social worker, it was important to me to work in community mental health after graduate school, and I focused my time there leading an eating disorder support group, as well as having a caseload full of individuals looking for support in their eating disorder recovery.

I went on to work as a psychotherapist at another nationally-known eating disorder treatment facility where I got experience working in/with:

• Residential treatment (patients live there 24/7 for continuous support)

• Day Programs (partial hospitalization and intensive day)

• Supporting people during and after meals

• A variety of different eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating 

• Leading group therapies, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Process Groups

• Being part of a treatment team, along with a dietitian, psychiatrist, and doctor

Now, working in my own private practice, I primarily work with pregnant, postpartum, and parenting people who are searching for healing - whether it be with birth trauma, childhood trauma, or their relationship with food and body. 

This is the work I dreamed of doing, and I constantly feel I need to pinch myself because I feel so honored to bear witness to people’s healing journeys. 

Thank you for being here. I am grateful for you.
