Therapy for Disordered Eating

You deserve food freedom and body liberation. Some signs you may deal with disordered eating can include:

A sitting in front of the fridge, eating a pint of ice cream and looking sad.
  • Feeling terrified at the thought of gaining weight
  • Being mentally preoccupied with thoughts of food or your body
  • Lying to loved ones about when or how much you have eaten
  • Feeling extremely guilty after eating
  • Eating in secret, or having an urge to purge your food
  • Struggling to eat due to a fear something bad will happen
  • Significant difficulty eating certain foods or food groups
  • Feeling out of control with food
  • Significant aversion to certain tastes or textures

My Approach

A plus size woman stands with her eyes closed and the sun on her face. She hugs her body and smiles softly.

I help those experiencing disordered eating behaviors and eating disorders—including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARIFD (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder), orthorexia, and OSFED (other specified feeding or eating disorder). Disordered eating exists on a spectrum, and you do not need an eating disorder diagnosis to work on your relationship with food.

I use parts work, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, DBT techniques, and somatic techniques to help you gain clarity about your relationship with food, unlearn the lies diet culture tells us, build up your sense of self, and find helpful coping techniques. I operate from a fat-positive and HAES (health at every size) perspective, which means that healthcare is a human right regardless of your body size, your body size does not determine your health, and all people deserve the tools to support their wellbeing in a way that is sustainable for them.

The thought of opening up to someone new about your relationship with food can feel overwhelming. But with the help of a professional who can compassionately help you navigate this difficult time, you don’t have to go through it alone.
