In the Integrative Behavioral Health division, Terri will be a team member in the medical management of eating disorders, offering integrative care that honors both the physical and emotional complexities of recovery. With a commitment to patient-centered healing, Terri provides support for individuals navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and other disordered eating patterns. She collaborates closely with therapists, dietitians, and families to create a safe, multidisciplinary environment where healing can take root. Terri lives in Carlsbad with her husband and two dogs. She enjoys Pilates, rebounding, and beach walking.
