Eating Disorders

You deserve a relationship with food and your body that isn’t driven by fear, guilt, or rigid rules.

Struggling with food and body image can take up an enormous amount of mental and emotional energy.

You might experience anxiety around eating, guilt after meals, rigid food rules, binge eating, restrictive behaviors, or a persistent sense that your worth is tied to your body or appearance.

These struggles can become deeply ingrained, affecting your relationships, confidence, and ability to be present in everyday life.

How we approach treatment

My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with treatment tailored to your individual symptoms, needs, and goals.

For individuals with eating disorders, care may also involve collaboration with medical providers, registered dietitians, or other members of a specialized treatment team when appropriate.

Together, we’ll focus on:

  • Recognizing the thoughts and behaviors maintaining disordered eating
  • Challenging rigid food rules and beliefs about weight, shape, and self-worth
  • Building skills to navigate distressing emotions and urges
  • Reducing avoidance, guilt, and shame surrounding food
  • Developing greater flexibility, self-compassion, and trust in yourself

Treatment is individualized, and we’ll consider the level of support most appropriate for your needs.

The goal is to help you build a more flexible, sustainable relationship with food and your body while creating space for the other things that matter in your life.
