a soft place to land nutrition and therapy PA

Empowering you and your body to find common ground

therapy for eating disorders

Diet culture and eating disorders can play mind games, filling our heads with untruths that keep us trapped in self-doubt and mental distress.

Working with us means having a safe space to:

  • Processing feelings about diet culture BS
  • Build self-worth and self-esteem
  • Find liberation in your body, regardless of your size
  • Finally come home to your true self

Remember that eating disorders don't define your worth - your true value lies in your uniqueness, resilience, and the love and support you have to offer yourself and others.

Let's free up that mental real estate dedicated to shrinking yourself and start celebrating the fact that you're worthy of taking up space

it's so nice to meet you

Meet your therapists

Therapy is a safe and collaborative space that honors and respects you as a whole person. We hope this is a place that allows you to feel empowered and secure when exploring a path that may feel uncomfortable and scary at times.

Our hope is that your relationship with your mind and body becomes easier and freer, and you find your own soft place to land.

As part of beginning care at A Soft Place to Land, we include a one-time $100 onboarding fee for all new clients. This helps cover the time our team spends thoughtfully reviewing your paperwork, coordinating care, and setting up everything behind the scenes so your treatment starts smoothly. Because insurance doesn’t reimburse for this essential work, this fee helps us support both our clinicians and our clients well.

Therapy

We offer individualized therapy for mental health where we unpack your relationship with food and your body, debunk diet culture myths, and help you finally feel at peace with yourself.

We love creating a safe and collaborative space that honors and respects your individual journey in healing your relationship with food and body. 

If it sounds like you're picking up what we're putting down, here's what you can expect: 

  • individualized and collaborative treatment to meet your needs, in whichever stage of life you're in
  • unwavering support when the going gets tough
  • a gentle out-stretched hand that's ready to be your advocate in your recovery

Our Therapeutic Philosophy

We believe in a collaborative approach that honors your unique experiences and autonomy.

Your personal story, challenges, and strengths form the foundation of our work together. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method, we tailor our support to align with your individual needs and goals.

Our therapists draw from a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, viewing your journey through a trauma-informed, socially aware, and culturally sensitive lens.

Her primary toolkit includes

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • All complemented by holistic approaches.

In your work together, you'll dive deeper in exploring the nuances of being human, and together, you'll explore this very hard and brave healing journey. 

We understand that trauma can profoundly impact your relationship with food and your body. Our therapy approach focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where you can process past experiences at your own pace. We're here to rebuild a sense of safety in your life.

Our goal is to help you not just survive, but thrive.

In your sessions, you'll have the opportunity to explore the nuances of your human experience in a safe, supportive environment. We acknowledge that this healing journey can be challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. Our role is to provide compassionate guidance as you navigate this path of self-discovery and growth.

We're committed to creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we'll work towards developing a gentler relationship with food, your body, and yourself. We're here to walk beside you every step of the way.

It's time to come home to yourself, and to finally be free from diet culture's rules

A Soft Place to Shop-A Free Thrift Closet

We’ve heard it again and again from our clients:

“Nothing in my closet fits, and I can’t afford a whole new wardrobe.”
“Shopping feels overwhelming right now.”
“I just want something comfortable that doesn’t make me cry.”

So we listened — and responded with care. The closet lives right in our office, so you can browse before or after your session, with no pressure and no cost. Every piece was donated by others in recovery or those who support our work. The best part? You do not need to be a client of A Soft Place to Land to visit the closet! If you're in recovery, this is just as much yours — a true circle of community care.

INSURANCE FORM

Our office is located at 65 E Elizabeth Ave, Suite 210, Bethlehem, PA 18018 or we can meet virtually via our HIPAA compliant platform.

We understand that many people come to us with a long history of dieting, weight concerns, and a desire to lose weight, often shaped by personal experiences, medical messaging, and societal pressures. While we do not provide weight loss plans or prescribe diets, we deeply value body autonomy and honor each person's right to make decisions about their body.

Our team practices from a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size® (HAES®)-aligned framework. This means we focus on supporting your overall well-being—including physical, emotional, and relational health—without using weight as the indicator of progress. Rather than focusing on changing your body, we work with you to build a more peaceful relationship with food, movement, and your body, wherever you are in your journey.

We’re here to hold space for your experiences and help you explore what feeling better in your body can mean, even if weight loss is a hope or curiosity for you. You don’t have to leave those feelings at the door and you won’t be judged for them. We just won’t use intentional weight loss as a treatment goal.
