Compassionate and Informed Care for Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating
You deserve to have a trusting, kind, and friendly relationship with food, exercise and your body.
Many people are exhausted with trying to figure out how to manage and control their bodies. You may have near constant thoughts about food, calories, your body, or exercise. You may be focused on everything else and everyone else and struggle to feel good enough. Maybe you never feel like you quite measure up. Maybe it’s difficult for you to stay present and enjoy the moment with loved ones because you are so focused on your body size, or what you should and shouldn’t eat. Maybe you’ve been on a million diets. Maybe you feel like if you just need more “willpower.”
It’s not about “willpower,” and it doesn’t have to be this way.
I work with clients who are seeking treatment for the first time or who are being discharged from a higher level of care. I help people end their wars with food and their bodies and come to a place where they can let go of shame, embrace their full selves, and actually trust their body’s wisdom.
