I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with women across the lifespan. I graduated with high honors in Women’s Studies from Colgate University and earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Columbia University.

I have extensive experience treating eating disorders in outpatient settings and work from the understanding that eating disorder symptoms rarely exist in isolation. My approach is integrative and relational, informed by behavioral, psychodynamic, DBT, somatic, and IFS-informed frameworks. I pay careful attention to the emotional, relational, and identity-based factors that often sustain disordered eating, body image distress, and difficulties with sexuality and intimacy.

I have advanced training in perinatal mental health and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH C) through Postpartum Support International. This training complements my broader clinical work by deepening my understanding of how hormonal shifts and major life transitions can affect mood, identity, relationships, body image, and emotional regulation.

As part of the Columbus Park team, I completed the Columbus Park Eating Disorder Treatment Practitioner Training Program in 2014 under the leadership of Melissa Gerson, LCSW. I also completed one year of advanced training at the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia, as well as a one-year training program in Human Sexuality at NYU Langone Psychiatry Associates. In my work at Columbus Park, I specialize in exploring the intersections of eating disorders, body image, sexuality, and relationships, and I often work with patients who are medically stable and seeking deeper, more sustained recovery. I am Gottman trained and frequently integrate relationship-focused interventions into my work, particularly when eating disorders are embedded within couple dynamics, family systems, or shifts in intimacy and partnership. 

While I value my academic and clinical training, I believe lived experience, authenticity, and connection are central to healing. I bring warmth, curiosity, and thoughtfulness to my work, creating a therapeutic space where patients can feel truly understood and supported.
