SOUND LIKE YOU?
On the outside, you might appear in control, but inside, food feels like a constant battle. One minute you’re following all the “rules,” the next you’re spiraling into guilt, frustration, or a binge.
Maybe you’re experiencing binge eating or bulimia, or cycling through restriction and overexercise. If you feel like your life revolves around food but you never feel truly nourished, disordered eating therapy can help.
Find Lasting Relief in Your Relationship with Food and Your Body Through Therapy in New York or New Jersey.
you’re not alone in your struggle.
Your relationship with food isn’t just about what you eat. It’s about how you feel when you do.
Disordered eating doesn’t always look dramatic—it can live in the gray areas, too. These patterns can leave you obsessing over what you ate, what you “shouldn’t” have eaten, or what you’ll eat next. Over time, it can impact your mental health, self-worth, social life, and ability to feel at home in your body.
Often, attempts to control food—through dieting, restriction, or overexercise—only lead to more stress and shame. These short-term fixes don’t provide the lasting relief you deserve.
you deserve support.
My virtual therapy practice specializes in helping women and young adults in New York and New Jersey who look like they have it all together on the outside but struggle with anxiety, guilt, or secrecy around food. You may not fit a textbook definition of an eating disorder, but you know food and body concerns are taking up too much space in your life.
You don’t have to carry this alone. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore your relationship with food, build new tools for coping, and begin finding peace with your body and yourself.

My therapeutic approach is…
VIRTUAL THERAPY FOR ALCOHOL RECOVERY
-
I use an integrative, client-centered approach that honors both emotional healing and practical tools. My work blends Intuitive Eating, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy to help you rebuild trust with your body and yourself.
-
What is Intuitive Eating? This is a way of eating that helps you listen to your body instead of following strict diets or rules. It’s about paying attention to your hunger and fullness cues—eating when you’re hungry and stopping when you’re satisfied. It also means giving yourself permission to enjoy all kinds of foods without guilt, and learning to trust your body to tell you what it needs.
With Intuitive Eating, we’ll work to reconnect with your body’s natural signals like hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and rest without judgment. This approach is weight-inclusive and rooted in body trust, not external rules.
-
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?
DBT is a type of therapy that helps people manage strong emotions, especially when they feel like their feelings are too big to handle. It teaches ways to calm down when you're upset, think before acting, and build better relationships with others. It also focuses on balancing opposites—like accepting who you are but still trying to improve.With DBT, we’ll build emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills so that food doesn’t need to be the only tool for coping with discomfort, anxiety, or overwhelm.
-
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
CBT helps people change the way they think and act. It’s based on the idea that how we think affects how we feel and behave. If we can change negative thoughts, we can feel better and make better choices. CBT is really helpful for anxiety, stress, or when people feel stuck in negative patterns.
With CBT, we’ll gently challenge the unhelpful thought patterns like all-or-nothing thinking, food rules, or shame spirals that keep you stuck in harmful cycles
-
What is Psychodynamic Therapy?
This type of therapy helps people understand how their past experiences affect how they feel and act today. It focuses on exploring things that might be in the unconscious mind—stuff we don’t always notice but that can shape our behavior. By becoming aware of these feelings or thoughts, people can make sense of their actions and start to feel more in control.
With psychodynamic work, we’ll explore the deeper emotional or relational roots of your relationship with food and your body.
There’s no one right way to heal. Together, we’ll find what works for you.
Challenges we’ll tackle…
Chronic dieting and food guilt
Emotional or stress-related eating
Binge–restrict cycles
Exercise compulsion
Preoccupation with food, weight, or body
Fear of losing control around food
All-or-nothing food thinking
Shame after eating “too much”
Avoidance of social eating situations
Food-related anxiety or secrecy
If food feels like a source of stress instead of nourishment, this work is for you.
Growth you’ll gain…
Feel less anxiety and guilt around food
Stop the binge–restrict cycle
Let go of toxic food rules and all-or-nothing thinking
Learn to eat in a way that feels nourishing, not punishing
Develop coping tools that don’t rely on food
Rebuild trust with hunger, body, and needs
Feel more present, grounded, and connected in daily life
Over time, many notice less stress and shame around food, more flexible and intuitive eating patterns, improved self-esteem and body trust, and a greater ability to cope with emotions without turning to food.
In turn, this allows for more space to be present in relationships, including having a greater confidence in setting boundaries and honoring personal needs.
Ultimately, a more peaceful, sustainable relationship with food leads to a more peaceful relationship with self.
Hi, I’m Kendall.
As a woman who’s been on both sides of the couch, I know what it’s like to struggle with body image. I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly compare yourself to others or feel at odds with your body.
Therapy with me isn’t about chasing perfection or trying to “fix” your body. It’s about building a kinder relationship with yourself, understanding where these patterns come from, and learning new ways to care for both your mind and body. This is a space where your feelings are valid, your story matters, and you don’t have to carry it all alone.
-
Sessions are 45 minutes long and take place virtually. We usually begin with a check-in on how things have felt that week: any food-related wins, challenges, or emotional triggers.
From there, we might explore a recent eating experience or body image spiral, build skills for managing discomfort or cravings, or work on unlearning diet culture beliefs. If you have an upcoming event or food-related situation you're anxious about, we’ll plan for it together.
You’re always invited to share what’s on your mind, and we’ll shape the session around what feels most useful that day
-
In the early sessions, we’ll get to know each other. We’ll also spend time understanding your relationship with food and how it’s been shaped by your history, environment, and emotional life. We’ll explore how control, shame, fear, or self-worth show up around food and what patterns you’re ready to shift.
-
As therapy unfolds, we’ll introduce tools for emotional regulation, body attunement, and intuitive eating practices. We’ll track what’s working, revisit your goals, and make space for both progress and stuck points without judgment.
-
You don’t need to be “ready” to change everything all at once. This is about learning to listen to yourself again and finding a path that honors your needs and values.
There’s no straight line in this process. But together, we’ll build a steady path forward, one that centers your growth, your voice, and your version of recovery.
A few more things to know about working together
01
Adapting to Your Needs
All sessions are virtual, so you can access care from the comfort of your home—whether you're balancing work, school, caregiving, or just daily life.
We’ll work together to find a schedule and rhythm that supports your healing process, wherever you’re starting from.
02
A Collaborative Process
This is your therapy, and you are the expert on your experience. I will bring the tools, structure, and curiosity, but you’ll never be pressured to move faster than you’re ready.
As part of my collaborative process, I work with dietitians, physicians, and psychiatrists. If you would like a referral to build your recovery team, I have a strong list of providers that I already work with and are accepting new clients.
03
Special Considerations
Please note: I do not provide inpatient eating disorder treatment or nutritional counseling. If you need a higher level of care, I’ll help connect you to one of my trusted providers.
