Are you struggling with your relationship with food, body, or exercise? Do you find it difficult to think about anything except what you will eat next and when? Are you looking for a convenient way to fit in therapy while continuing your busy life and life in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh and you don’t have the time to sit in traffic on 76.

Benefits of Online Therapy in Pennsylvania.
Online therapy began during the pandemic and rapidly gained popularity as a convenient way for people to access support from the comfort of their own homes. We’ve found that there are numerous benefits to being in a familiar, personal space while seeking help.
Your privacy is protected.
There is nothing more comforting than being able to do therapy in the privacy of your own home. No need to worry about who could potentially see you in the waiting room. We use a HIPPA-compliant platform for video calls, in order to ensure secure and safe sessions.
Online therapy is flexible.
Do you have a 9-5 job, have to go home and take care of the kids, all while trying to get in your own self care? Therapy on your lunch break can be possible with online therapy! The flexibility of not needing to drive to and from an office can help condense time and make your own self care possible.
Online Therapy for Eating Disorders in Athletes in Pennsylvania
As an athlete, dealing with food can come with its own set of challenges that can leave you feeling isolated or even disconnected from the sport you love.

Working with a specialist in eating disorders can help you break free from the constant thoughts about food and regain control over your life. Together, we’ll work through the discomfort of eating freely around teammates, friends, or colleagues, and find a way to reconnect with the joy of movement again.

Online Therapy for Family Based Therapy (FBT) in Pennsylvania
Do you feel exhausted every day after fighting with your child about food? Are you scared for your child’s well-being, but not sure what to do next? FBT may be the right fit for you.
Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is a therapy designed to help kids and teens struggling with eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia. What makes FBT different is that it doesn't just focus on the person with the disorder but also includes the whole family in the process. Eating disorders impact everyone, so FBT brings the family together as a team to tackle the challenge. In each session, we’ll work as a group, with me guiding you as a parent to help support your child on their path to recovery.

Is online therapy effective?
Recovering from an eating disorder is tough, and I won’t sugarcoat it—it’s a challenging journey, whether you're going through it in person or online. But from what I’ve seen, both in-person and online, online therapy can be incredibly powerful. The flexibility and comfort of being able to have sessions from home really helps people stay consistent with their therapy. And in my experience, consistency is key when it comes to recovery. It can make all the difference!
