Does your everyday life and functioning revolve around food, weight and shape? Do you obsess about food and body size? Is your self-image largely based on what you look like? We live in a society obsessed with dieting, weight and fitness, which can make it difficult to know if you or someone you care about has an eating disorder. I have years of experience helping people recover from eating disorders and develop a healthy relationship with food, body, mind and self.
My approach is caring, collaborative, non-judgmental and strengths-based. My hope is for those whom I work with to connect the dots between feelings, thoughts and actions, to learn new ways to cope, to be more mindful with food, to be kind to their body and use their voice effectively.
