Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are complex conditions that can have a significant impact on a person’s life. If you or a loved one are struggling with an eating disorder, seeking therapy can be a crucial first step towards recovery.

Eating disorders come in various forms, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. These disorders are not simply about food but are often rooted in deeper emotional issues.

Therapy plays a critical role in the treatment of eating disorders. Different approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and family-based treatment can help you address underlying issues, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and improve your relationship with food.

As a seasoned eating disorders therapist, I’m committed to walking By Your Side as you learn to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding food and body image. Therapy for eating disorders typically involves the process of assessment, goal setting, and working through therapeutic techniques together to address problematic behaviors. We will delve into your relationship with food, body image issues, and emotional triggers as you navigate the journey towards recovery.

I am a HAES-aligned therapist (Health at Every Size). One of the core principles of HAES is recognizing that health is multifaceted and goes beyond the number on the scale. Instead of fixating on weight loss as the ultimate marker of health, I encourage you to explore and consider factors like mental well-being, nutrition, physical activity, and overall quality of life.

Are you ready to reclaim your relationship with food? If so, then I’m here to help. Reach out to me today!
