Eating Disorders

It can feel exhausting to have your thoughts constantly revolve around food, your body, or control. Eating may feel charged with anxiety, guilt, or shame. At times, restricting, bingeing, purging, or obsessing over food might seem like the only way to cope — even when part of you knows it’s causing harm.

You may have tried to manage it privately. You might feel stuck in a cycle that’s hard to explain to others — and even harder to step out of alone.

Eating disorders are serious — but they are treatable. With structured, compassionate support, it’s possible to reduce symptoms, rebuild trust with your body, and move toward a more stable relationship with food and yourself.

Eating Disorders Treated

• Anorexia Nervosa
• Bulimia Nervosa
• Binge Eating Disorder
• Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
• OSFED and disordered eating patterns
• Body image distress

Common Signs and Symptoms

• Preoccupation with weight, shape, calories, or food rules
• Restricting intake or binging/purging behaviors
• Intense guilt or shame after eating
• Distorted body image and fear of weight gain
• Physical symptoms (fatigue, dizziness, GI issues)

Eating disorders are complex coping mechanisms often rooted in deeper emotional, relational, or trauma-related experiences.

How Therapy Can Help

I use evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for eating disorders
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Somatic and nervous system regulation work

Recovery Can Help You:

• Understand the function your eating behaviors are serving
• Identify triggers and maintain safer patterns
• Reduce shame and self-criticism
• Rebuild a safer, more regulated relationship with your body
• Address underlying trauma or attachment wounds

Recovery is not about control or perfection. It is about building safety — in your body, your emotions, and your relationship with yourself.
