About My Clients
I work with high-achieving adults of all genders who hold themselves to impossibly high standards—in work, relationships, and the way they eat, move, and take up space. Many of my clients struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. Together, we work to quiet self-criticism, loosen the pressure to “get it right,” and build a more compassionate, freeing relationship with themselves.
My Background and Approach
Prior to earning my doctorate, I completed a master’s degree in Human Development and Psychology at Harvard University and a bachelor’s degree at Johns Hopkins University. I am an integrative therapist who draws from behavioral, relational, and psychodynamic approaches, including CBT, DBT, and ACT, to tailor treatment to each client’s needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. I have worked across all levels of eating disorder care, from inpatient to outpatient settings, which allows me to support clients with both acute symptoms and the deeper emotional patterns beneath them. Clients often come to me feeling stuck in cycles of perfectionism, self-criticism, shame, or disconnection from themselves and others. I help clients notice when the inner critic shows up, understand what it may be trying to protect, and practice responding in ways that create more self-trust, flexibility, and lasting change, without feeling like they have to earn their worth first.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My work is grounded in the belief that mental health does not exist in a vacuum. I care deeply about social justice and recognize the ways that systems, culture, and identity shape our relationships with food, bodies, achievement, and self-worth. I am passionate about weight inclusivity and actively work to challenge weight stigma, diet culture, and the idea that health or worth can be measured by body size. I strive to create a space that is affirming, collaborative, and compassionate for people of all identities and backgrounds. My Jewish identity is also an important part of who I am and informs my appreciation for reflection, community, resilience, and healing. Above all, I value authenticity and believe therapy works best when clients feel safe enough to show up as their full selves.
