about mE
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adolescents, adults, and families with a wide range of concerns. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, as well as disordered eating. I have extensive training in multiple evidence-based treatments and have worked in inpatient, day hospital, and outpatient settings providing individual, family, and group therapies. I also have experience treating anxiety disorders, problems with self-esteem or body image, and difficulties with emotion regulation. In addition to my private practice, I am currently a part-time faculty member at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine where I have been active in research, clinical work, and education. I have both lectured on, and led educational workshops on, the causes and treatment of eating disorders.
