Eating Disorder Therapy
Why This Work
Are you exhausted by the space your eating disorder is taking up in your life?
Do you find yourself longing to live with more presence, more meaning, more freedom?
An eating disorder can take up so much — your energy, your relationships, your sense of self. You deserve to get that back.
Who I Work With
I support people navigating, binge eating, anorexia, bulimia, orthorexia, ARFID, OSFED, chronic dieting, and body image distress that doesn't fit into a diagnosis.
You don't need to meet a specific weight, symptom severity, or diagnostic checklist for your struggle with food and your body to be real, or for this work to be for you.
Eating Disorders as Adaptation
I don't approach eating disorders as a problem to fix or a behavior to eliminate through sheer willpower. I see them as complex, intelligent adaptations — ways of coping with trauma, disconnection, or a culture that interferes with our embodiment and our relationship with our own bodies.
Diet culture, along with personal and collective trauma, can disrupt our innate sense of trust in our bodies long before an eating disorder ever takes hold.
My work in this area is informed by the Reclaiming Body Trust model, which understands healing as a return to trusting our bodies rather than controlling them.
Rather than asking, "Why can't you just stop?" I stay curious: How has this eating disorder served you? What need has it met? What might it still be protecting you from? That curiosity — instead of shame — is often where real change begins.
My Experience
I bring 8 years of clinical experience across residential, outpatient, and private practice settings, with specialized training in eating disorders and body image work, including certification as a National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) Body Project Facilitator.
Support Stepping Down from Higher Levels of Care
I have extensive experience working with eating disorders across the full continuum of care, including residential (RTC), partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient (OP) levels. If you're transitioning out of a higher level of care, I can offer steady, informed outpatient support as you continue building a life that isn't organized around the eating disorder.
Involving Family & Partners
Eating disorders often live within relationships, not only within individuals. When it feels supportive to your recovery, I welcome the option of involving family members or partners in your care — helping the people who love you understand what you're navigating, and how they can show up for you.
