At Bloom Body & Mind, I work with children, adolescents, and adults with:

  • Anorexia Nervosa

  • Bulimia Nervosa

  • Binge Eating Disorder

  • Emotional Eating

  • Unspecified Eating Disorder

  • Disordered Eating

  • Body Image Concerns

  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

Therapy isn’t just for those with eating disorders. If you are concerned with your relationship with food and your body, starting therapy can be a great step in taking care of yourself.

*Depending on availability, I also work with individuals with anxiety and mood concerns. Please feel free to reach out to speak with me about this treatment.

Psychotherapy Services

Therapy services begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand each individual's unique struggles. Following this evaluation, I will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. Eating disorder treatment requires both physical and emotional care. In my integrative approach, I collaborate with other professionals who are involved in your care. Initially we will focus on stabilizing behaviors and physical restoration. As treatment progresses, we will work on addressing underlying concerns that maintain disordered eating patterns.

I am one of the only providers in the state of South Carolina trained in Family-Based Treatment (FBT), which is a very effective treatment for child and adolescent eating disorders. If you are concerned about your child or teenager, I’d love to hear from you about how I can help.

Treatment may consist of any of the following:

  • Individual Outpatient Therapy

  • Family-Based Treatment Approaches

  • Partner Support/Psychoeducation

  • In-Session Meal Support

  • Meal Plan Accountability

  • Collaboration with External Physicians, Nutritionists, and Treatment Centers

  • Referral to Higher Level of Care if Needed

Treatment Approaches

  • Individual Psychotherapy

    Individual psychotherapy services will be tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Through evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), clients receive personalized support in developing healthy coping strategies, challenging negative thought patterns, and building self-esteem. Our therapy sessions provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore the underlying factors contributing to their eating disorder, fostering self-awareness and empowerment on their journey to recovery.

  • Family-Based Treatment

    Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is a highly effective therapeutic approach for treating eating disorders, particularly in children and adolescents. FBT views the family as a crucial component in the recovery process, involving parents or caregivers actively in the treatment. This collaborative approach aims to empower families to support their loved ones struggling with eating disorders by re-establishing normal eating patterns, improving communication, and fostering a secure environment for recovery. FBT leverages the family's influence in promoting lasting healing and positive outcomes for the individual.
