Therapist for Disordered Eating and Body Image
Online Holistic Psychotherapist Across New Jersey and New York
Does This Sound Familiar?
You’ve spent so much of your life chasing an ideal. Whether it’s a number on the scale, the reflection in the mirror, or the version of yourself you think you should be. It often feels like your mood, your confidence, and even your worth gets tangled up in how your body looks. The mirror has become more of a critic than a reflection, and the voice inside your head is often harsh.
You compare yourself to others, to past versions of yourself, to unrealistic standards that only leave you feeling less than. Deep down, you're tired of the shame. You just want to feel comfortable in your skin, to look in the mirror without judgment, and to believe you’re enough just as you are.
The scary truth is you constantly think about food. What to eat, what not to eat, and when you should eat your next meal. Whether you’re packing lunches, squeezing in a workout between classes, or collapsing after a long day, food feels like a battle you never signed up for. You find yourself stuck in a yo-yo cycle. Restricting what you eat, then feeling frustrated or out of control and eating too much. Leading to blame, shame, and guilt. It’s exhausting. Especially when you're already carrying so much.
The truth is you do love food. Some of your favorite memories involve shared meals, celebrations, comfort dishes. You don’t want to give that up. You just want to stop feeling like food has power over you. You long for the day when eating can feel natural again. Nourishing. Joyful. Free of shame.

A Different Kind of Therapy for Your Relationship with Food.
Rooted in mindfulness, compassion, and the wisdom of your body.
Through my integrative, holistic approach, we look at the full picture. Not just what you eat, but how you feel, think, and relate to your body and your needs. So many of the busy moms, teachers, and young adults I work with have spent years trying to control food, only to feel more disconnected from themselves. Together, we work to reconnect you to your body’s natural cues, like hunger, fullness, and satisfaction.
You’ll learn to slow down, become more present with your meals, and understand what your body is really asking for. We’ll use mindfulness techniques, like grounding, reframing, and compassionate self-talk, to help you notice and challenge the beliefs that keep you stuck in a frustrating cycle of self-criticism and sabotage. Together, we’ll work on shifting those beliefs to help you see yourself through a new lens, one that honors your full self, not just the way you look.
This isn’t about following another food plan or chasing perfection. It’s about creating something that works in your real life. Whether that’s packing snacks for your kids, eating lunch between meetings, or navigating food choices in a college dining hall. Our work will support you in building a sustainable, intuitive relationship with food. One where joy, nourishment, and trust can exist without pressure or rules.
You deserve to live in a body you respect, care for, and feel connected to, not one you’re constantly at war with. Let’s help you break free from the inner battles, and start building a kinder, more trusting relationship with your body and yourself.

An eating disorder is a diagnosable mental health condition like anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder, with specific criteria for diagnosis.
Disordered eating includes a range of unhealthy thoughts and behaviors around food—like chronic dieting, food guilt, or rigid rules—that may not meet full diagnostic criteria but still impact your well-being.
You don’t need a diagnosis to seek support. If food feels stressful or overwhelming, help is available.

An unhealthy relationship with food can look different for everyone. Some common signs include:
-Feeling guilt or shame after eating
-Obsessing over calories, weight, or food rules
-Swinging between restriction and overeating

-Feeling out of control around certain foodsIf eating feels stressful, confusing, or emotionally charged, that’s a sign something deeper may be going on. You deserve support—whether or not you’ve been given a label or diagnosis.

You're not alone. It makes sense to feel discouraged when you've put in effort and still feel stuck. My approach is different because it’s about deeply reconnecting with yourself, your body, your emotions, and your inner voice.
I take a holistic view, which means we’ll explore not just your thoughts, but also how they show up in your body, your habits, and your daily life. We’ll gently unpack the deeper patterns and protective parts of you that may still be showing up in your everyday life and learn to let them go.
This work is both grounding and transformative. It’s not about “fixing” you it’s about helping you reclaim who you are, beneath the self-doubt and shame. Real acceptance takes time and care, and together, we’ll create space for both.
