Eating disorder therapy in Reston, Virginia

“Making peace with food requires that you transition from a place of fear to a place of love.”

Eating Disorder Treatment in Reston, Virginia

Full Recovery is Possible.

My philosophy on treating eating disorders is grounded in the belief that full recovery is possible. Yes, even for you.

Using a trauma-informed, HAES®-aligned approach, I’m here to support you in separating your true self from the disordered beliefs and behaviors.

Treating eating disorders and body image struggles in all people, regardless of diagnosis, gender, or body size.

I've seen too many people hesitate to seek support because they believe they're "not sick enough," don’t have the "right" body size, or don’t fit the stereotype of an eating disorder. As a result, they continue to struggle alone—when help is available.

I believe in inclusive therapy that recognizes all struggles with food, weight, body image, and identity as valid—and deserving of support and care.

Eating disorders exist on a spectrum, but at their core, they all reflect a need to heal our relationship with food and our bodies.
