For Providers
I am dedicated to improving access to high-quality treatment and am actively inovlved in numerous professional organizations and councils. I offer expert consultation on the implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – Enhanced (CBT-E) and lead workshops focused on addressing anti-fat bias, integrating weight-neutral approaches into clinical care, and early identification of eating disorders in school and medical settings. I currently serve as the Parliamentarian for the Illinois Psychological Association and Membership Chair for the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. Additionally, I played a key role in establishing the Special Interest Group for Eating Disorders and Body Image within the American Psychological Association.
Please reach out for additional information on how we can work together.
