Eating disorders affect people of every age, gender, body size and background. They often travel with anxiety, depression or perfectionism, and they are serious but treatable.
Signs it may be time to get help
- Preoccupation with food, weight or body shape
- Restricting, bingeing, purging or compensating with exercise
- Guilt or shame around eating
- Physical changes such as dizziness, fatigue or missed periods
How I approach treatment
Eating disorder care works best as a team. I focus on the psychiatric side, including co-occurring anxiety and depression and medication where it helps, and coordinate with your therapist, dietitian and primary care doctor.
If you need more support than outpatient care can provide, I help you find the right level of care.
Visits are by secure video for patients located in California or New York at the time of the appointment. See what the first evaluation involves and how medication management works.
Questions people ask
Do I need to be underweight to have an eating disorder?
No. Eating disorders occur at every body size, and medical risk is not always visible.
