If you're constantly thinking about food, your body, or exercise in ways that feel overwhelming or out of control, you might be struggling with an eating disorder. This can look like restricting food, binge eating, purging, or using exercise to cope with difficult emotions. You don’t have to fit a specific mold to deserve support—if your relationship with food or your body is causing distress, it’s worth reaching out for help.

I take a relational, compassionate approach to treating eating disorders, recognizing the connection between body, mind, and emotions. My work is grounded in building a strong therapeutic relationship, where you feel heard, seen, and supported as you navigate recovery. I use EMDR to help process trauma or distressing memories that may be contributing to disordered eating patterns, while parts work (such as Ego-State Therapy) allows us to explore and heal different aspects of yourself that may be caught in old, unhelpful coping mechanisms.

I believe in a holistic, team-based approach to recovery. For lasting change, I often urge clients to work with a comprehensive treatment team, including medical professionals and nutritionists, to ensure you receive well-rounded care. Together, we’ll build a plan that supports not only your emotional healing but also your physical well-being.

I believe the decision to involve family or loved ones in therapy is personal and should be guided by what feels most supportive to you. Some clients find it helpful to include their family in the healing process, while others prefer to work through things individually. If you choose to bring them into therapy, I can help facilitate those conversations in a healthy, constructive way. Ultimately, my goal is to support you in whatever path feels right for your healing.

If your eating disorder is severely impacting your physical health, like through significant weight loss or medical complications, or if you're struggling to manage emotional triggers and behaviors on your own, a higher level of care, such as inpatient or residential treatment, may be necessary. I will assess your progress and needs on an ongoing basis to ensure you’re receiving the right level of support. Together, we’ll determine if a more intensive treatment approach is appropriate for your healing journey.
