Binge Eating Disorder Therapy in NYC & New Jersey
Binge Eating Disorder Therapy in NYC & New Jersey
You feel successful in every area of your life except this one.
You know how to work hard. You know how to meet goals. You know how to stay disciplined.
So why does your relationship with food feel so different?
Maybe you're constantly thinking about food. Maybe you feel out of control around eating. Maybe you're stuck in a cycle of guilt, shame, restriction, and promises to "do better tomorrow."
If you're exhausted by the mental space food takes up, therapy can help.
I’m a Certified Intuitive Eating Disorder Specialist and Licensed Therapist, and I offer in-person therapy in Midtown Manhattan and virtual therapy throughout New York and New Jersey.

Many of my clients are successful, intelligent, and highly disciplined in other areas of their lives. That's often what makes their relationship with food feel so confusing.
Binge eating is not about a lack of willpower.
Why Does This Keep Happening?
Binge eating disorder is not about a lack of willpower or “being bad” with food. It’s often connected to emotions, coping, nervous system patterns, and the messages people have learned about food and their bodies over time.
Often, food has become a way of coping.
Maybe you were taught to push your feelings aside instead of expressing them. Maybe you've spent so much of your life achieving, producing, and taking care of everyone else that slowing down feels uncomfortable. Maybe food became one of the few reliable ways to find comfort, distraction, or relief.
For some people, binge eating develops alongside chronic dieting and food restriction. For others, it becomes a way to manage overwhelming emotions, stress, or loneliness.
Whatever the reason, your relationship with food makes sense in the context of your experiences. And there is hope for it to be able to change.
How Therapy Can Help
My approach to binge eating disorder therapy focuses on understanding the function the behavior serves rather than judging it.

A Different Approach to Recovery
Binge eating disorder is not about being lazy, undisciplined, or lacking willpower.
My approach focuses on understanding the function binge eating serves rather than relying on shame, rigid food rules, or extreme restriction.
I also incorporate Intuitive Eating principles to help clients rebuild trust with their bodies after years of dieting, food rules, and self-criticism.
Healing often comes from flexibility, self-compassion, and self-trust—not from trying harder.
Binge Eating Recovery Is Possible
Many people come to therapy believing they need more control.
What they often discover is that healing comes from building more self-trust, self-compassion, and flexibility.
Recovery doesn't mean never struggling again. It means food no longer runs the show.
It means having space for your relationships, your career, your goals, and your life without food and body concerns taking up all the oxygen.
