Individual Therapy

Therapy offers a space to slow down, gain perspective, and work through the challenges that may be keeping you stuck. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder, body image concerns, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or other emotional challenges, therapy can help you develop greater self-understanding, flexibility, and confidence in navigating life's complexities.

Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes. I offer a free 15-minute consultation prior to scheduling an intake to help determine whether working together feels like a good fit. Intake sessions are 90 minutes.

Eating Disorder Approach

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in the understanding that recovery involves more than changing eating behaviors. Together, we work to address the emotional, psychological, relational, and cultural factors that may be contributing to your struggles with food and body image.

Because eating disorders affect both physical and emotional health, treatment is often most effective when care is coordinated across disciplines. When appropriate, I collaborate with registered dietitians, medical providers, psychiatrists, and other professionals to help support a comprehensive approach to recovery.

Thrive Eating Disorder Recovery Group

Thrive is a virtual recovery group for adult women, co-led by myself and Adina Silverman, MS, RD, LDN.

Together, we explore the complex relationships between food, body image, self-worth, and identity while addressing topics such as diet culture, self-esteem, values, and holistic well-being in support of lasting recovery.

Designed for adult women seeking a more peaceful and flexible relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves, Thrive offers a structured and supportive space to deepen recovery while connecting with others who share similar experiences.

The group is intended to complement ongoing individual therapy and nutrition counseling, providing the added benefits of community, connection, and shared understanding.

Support for Loved Ones

Eating disorder recovery does not happen in isolation, and supporting someone with an eating disorder can be both deeply meaningful and incredibly challenging. I work with family members, partners, and other loved ones to better understand eating disorders, strengthen communication, and navigate recovery with greater confidence.

Together, we explore ways to provide support that feels informed, compassionate, and effective while also attending to your own well-being. The goal is not to say the perfect thing or get everything right, but to develop a deeper understanding of recovery and a stronger foundation for supporting the person you care about.

Professional Services

Supervision and Consultation

I provide clinical supervision in Maryland for licensed graduate social workers working toward LCSW-C licensure.

As an IAEDP Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Approved Consultant (CEDS-C), I also offer consultation for clinicians pursuing their Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) designation, as well as those seeking additional support in the assessment and treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns.

Consultation and supervision are collaborative spaces for reflection, growth, and skill development. Areas of focus may include case conceptualization, treatment planning, clinical decision-making, ethical considerations, and navigating the complexities of eating disorder treatment.

Speaking, Training, and Community Education

I provide presentations, workshops, and educational trainings on topics related to eating disorders, body image, and mental health. My goal is to offer engaging, evidence-based education that increases understanding, reduces stigma, and supports meaningful change.

Areas of expertise and presentation topics include weight stigma, diet culture, implicit bias, eating disorder prevention, supporting family members and loved ones in eating disorder recovery, eating disorders in midlife and beyond, and body image concerns across the lifespan.

I have presented for universities, professional organizations, workplaces, community groups, and national and international conferences. Trainings can be tailored to the needs of your audience, and I welcome inquiries from a variety of settings.

"Eating disorders are not just about food or body image; they are about the stories we carry and the wounds we have yet to heal. Shame in our bodies often mirrors a more profound shame in ourselves, rooted in external narratives imposed by others. Healing requires examining these stories and recognizing that they are not intrinsic truths."

— Carolyn Karoll LCSW-C, CED-C
