Do you feel out of control in your relationship to food? Has it become obsessive? Maybe your eating disorder helped you feel calm and in control at first- but now it feels like it is running your life. You’re stuck in a loop of obsessive thoughts and behaviors, disconnected from yourself and your loved ones, and wondering if healing is even possible. I know what it is like to be in that place. You’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep living this way. Together, we’ll work to reconnect you to your authentic self, your values, and build a life of meaning outside of your Eating Disorder.
As an Eating Disorder therapist with lived experience, I know how daunting the recovery process can feel. While no two journeys are the same, my experience gives me deep empathy for anyone struggling. I take a psychodynamic, feminist and relational approach to help you find meaningful recovery. Above all, your self determination is a top priority to me.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s beneath the surface of your eating disorder—the pain, patterns, and stories that deserve to be heard with compassion. In my experience, true healing begins when we address the roots of your suffering, not just the symptoms. I would be honored to walk alongside you- reach out today for a free consultation call.
