Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

My own experience in therapy awakened me to my calling. I became a clinical psychologist to pay it forward. I specialize in treating high-achieving adults who have a hard time letting go of control and tolerating uncertainty. I particularly enjoy helping people learn to trust their intuition. I came to the eating disorder field by way of the addiction field. I also have a personal connection to this work. As a trauma survivor who coped by developing an eating disorder, I spent many years feeling disconnected and unsafe in my body. In my own recovery and education I came to understand that what I was taught about weight and health was inaccurate and deeply harmful. I believe providers have a responsibility to think critically about our beliefs. I believe our job is to support people’s entire wellbeing, including helping dismantle harmful systems, and that is why I align with Health at Every Size. I’m aware that I will never understand what it’s like to experience the world in a body other than my own and that I am afforded thin privilege. Thus, I know I’ll always be uncovering and unlearning biases and am committed to doing so through ongoing education, supervision, consultation, and learning from colleagues and fat activists. As a board member of Fat Torah, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting weight stigma in Jewish communal life, and on the advisory board for Medical Students for Size Inclusivity, I work to be an ally in supporting fat liberation.
