I'm a Teen

Whether you’re struggling with anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder and emotional eating, you need to know that you’re not alone. Many teens in our community are experiencing similar challenges and feelings. You deserve to not have to do this on your own.

You may be navigating school, friendships, identity, or family stuff that feels too heavy. You might not even have the words for it yet — that’s okay. You don’t have to come into therapy with everything figured out. We start where you are.

Each individual has unique issues that they are facing. I offer specialized treatment designed to help teens in the Kansas City and Lawrence area with eating disorders heal physically and emotionally. My approach is designed to help you recover as you deal with the day-to-day stresses of school, work and life.

Therapy isn’t just for crises. It’s for building strength, learning about yourself, and not feeling so alone. When you’re ready, I’m here.

I encourage you to check out the resources on my website. If you and your parents feel that I could be the right partner for your journey, you can contact me to learn more about getting started. It would be my honor to join you on your journey to recovery and to help you regain and restore your life to health and happiness.
