Therapy for Eating Disorders & Food Issues
I provide therapy for:
- Binge eating and emotional overeating
- Chronic dieting and weight cycling
- ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)
- Restrictive eating and food avoidance
- Body image distress and body dysmorphia
- Anxiety around food, weight, or eating in public
- Trauma-related eating patterns
- Disconnection from hunger and fullness cues
Eating disorders are complex and impact both the mind and body. Treatment is most effective when we address nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and body awareness — not just behaviors.
A Holistic Approach to Eating Disorder Recovery
True healing involves more than meal plans or behavior tracking.
My approach integrates:
- Mind-body awareness to reconnect with hunger, fullness, and internal cues
- Breathwork and nervous system regulation to reduce anxiety around food
- Trauma-informed therapy to address root causes
- Body image healing work focused on compassion and neutrality
- Gentle mindfulness practices to build self-trust
- Spiritual and values-based exploration (if desired)
Rather than fighting your body, we work toward listening to it.
Rather than controlling food, we build capacity for safety, flexibility, and trust.
Therapy for ARFID
ARFID can feel confusing and isolating. You may experience:
- Extremely limited “safe” foods
- Sensory sensitivities
- Fear of choking or vomiting
- Low appetite or lack of interest in food
- Anxiety around trying new foods
ARFID is not about willpower. It is often rooted in sensory processing, anxiety, or nervous system responses.
In therapy, we move at your pace — building safety, reducing fear, and gently expanding tolerance without shame or pressure.
Healing Body Image from the Inside Out
Body image struggles are rarely about appearance alone.
They are often connected to:
- Trauma
- Cultural messaging
- Perfectionism
- Shame
- A need for control
- Feeling unsafe in your body
Our work focuses on:
- Building body awareness instead of body judgment
- Increasing self-compassion
- Challenging internalized beliefs
- Developing emotional regulation skills
- Creating a sense of embodiment and grounded presence
You deserve to feel at home in your body.
What Eating Disorder Therapy Looks Like
Sessions may include:
- Talk therapy and emotional processing
- Somatic awareness practices
- Gentle breathwork
- Nervous system education
- Identifying triggers and coping patterns
- Developing sustainable support tools
- Collaboration with dietitians or medical providers when needed
Recovery is not about perfection. It is about building resilience, flexibility, and self-trust.
Signs It May Be Time to Seek Support
- You feel out of control around food
- You think about food or your body most of the day
- You avoid social situations involving eating
- You feel guilt or shame after eating
- You restrict during the week and overeat on weekends
- You feel disconnected from your body
If any of this resonates, therapy can help.
