Is This the Right Fit for You?

Therapy is deeply personal, and finding the right fit matters. Here’s how you might know we’d work well together:

  • You want to heal your relationship with food and your body
  • You’re looking for a therapist who listens with compassion and without judgment
  • You value a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach to mental health
  • You’re ready to explore deeper patterns and build emotional resilience
  • You want a space that feels safe, individualized, and empowering

Evidence-Based Virtual Therapy for Eating Disorders, Anxiety & Trauma

My therapy approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices that actually work. Every client is different which is why I draw from a range of modalities to find what fits you best.

Here’s a quick look at the tools I use most often:

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

Helps you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that impact your mood, behaviors, and self-image. Great for anxiety, depression, and eating disorder recovery.

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

Focuses on building coping skills like emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Especially helpful for those struggling with intense emotions or disordered eating.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

Encourages mindfulness, acceptance of difficult emotions, and values-based action. ACT helps clients create meaningful change by learning to live alongside discomfort, rather than fighting it.

Multidimensional & Flexible Approaches

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Our work together may draw from multiple modalities depending on your needs, always with your voice and goals guiding the process.

CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy)

A trauma-focused therapy that helps you process painful past experiences and reduce the impact of trauma on your daily life.

Solution-Focused Therapy

A short-term, goal-oriented approach that focuses on your strengths and the changes you want to make; not just the problems you're facing.

A Weight-Inclusive, Non-Diet Approach to Healing

My work is grounded in a weight-inclusive, non-diet framework that honors your body and lived experience. I believe in creating a therapeutic space free from weight stigma, where all bodies are welcomed with compassion and respect.

  • Body image healing and self-acceptance in all body sizes
  • Support for intuitive eating and rejecting diet culture
  • Fat-positive and weight-neutral therapeutic care
  • Focus on self-compassion, values-based living, and emotional wellbeing
  • A safe, judgment-free space to explore recovery and healing

Recovery doesn’t mean perfection. It means moving toward peace, connection, and self-acceptance.

Virtual Therapy That Works, Wherever You Are

Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions — and for many people, it’s even more accessible and comfortable. I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions for teens, young adults, and adults living in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

Benefits of virtual therapy:

  • Attend sessions from the comfort of your home

  • Greater flexibility for college students, parents, and professionals

  • Reduced anxiety around in-person settings

  • No travel time or waiting rooms
