EATING DISORDER THERAPY IN MARYLAND
It’s time to take back control.
Does food consume your thoughts 24/7? Are you tired of worrying about if your “skinny enough?”
Maybe self-imposed isolation from friends, or perhaps your ability to focus at school or work has gone down the drain.
You may be struggling to keep your day-to-day activities or simply not able to get out of bed due to low energy. Perhaps you’re feeling anxious or depressed.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:
declining work and/or academic performance
feeling cold all of the time
feeling dizzy or tired all of the time
avoiding meal times or eating in public
missing menstrual periods
Life can feel different than the way it does today.

Eating disorder therapy can help
It may feel impossible now, but you can be happy in your own skin. You can enjoy food. And I can get you there.
I’ll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to eating disorder therapy comes from a place of hope and empathy: believing that you are not the “problem,” but come to a place of peace and acceptance about your life and your body.
Eating disorder therapy helps you do 4 things:
Identify the root of the problems you’re experiencing
Restore normal eating patterns, a healthy weight maintenance, and realistic evaluation of your body
Learn that food is not the enemy
Understand the tools that will help resolve your problems, so you live a fulfilling life.
Hating your body and fearing food doesn’t have to be your story.
