For more than 17 years, I've worked alongside adolescents and families navigating eating disorders. Over the years, my work has grown beyond the therapy room to include writing, consulting, and speaking—all with a shared purpose: creating greater understanding and meaningful change in eating disorder treatment.

I'm especially passionate about the intersection of autism and eating disorders and the unique challenges autistic individuals can encounter in treatment and recovery.

Eating disorder treatment should understand autism.
Too often, autistic experiences, including sensory differences, communication styles, cognitive processing, and the need for predictability, aren't fully understood or considered in traditional treatment approaches. I believe we can do better.

As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, published author, and treatment consultant, I bring clinical experience, curiosity, and a commitment to neuroaffirming care to this work.

My mission is to help create a different kind of understanding—one that recognizes the whole person, honors individual differences, and makes room for treatment approaches that are both clinically sound and responsive to the needs of autistic individuals.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to experience healing without having to leave their autistic self behind.
