The struggle
If you have been struggling with food— then you know how tiring the exhausting battle with your brain can be. Each day, you tell yourself you’re going to “eat normally.” You wake up with good intentions and plan to cook something balanced. You tell yourself when dinner is ready— you’ll eat a “normal” portion and you’ll stop when you’re full.
You may even make rules (“I’m going to stop eating after dinner is cleaned up” or “I will follow my meal plan today”). But then the day gets long, stress builds up, and by the time you’re alone in the kitchen— the urge to restrict, binge or purge has been gnawing at you and you’re back seeking the relief those behaviors bring.
Feeling stuck
If you’re like most of my clients, you’re likely a pro at “my diet starts tomorrow” and the trap of “it will be different this time around.” As you begin a new plan, you feel a familiar rush of relief— but by day five of your regimen, not having your comfort food is starting to feel hard. You miss the relief food brings, and honestly? You’re wondering if life is worth it if you can’t eat the way you want to.
getting support
In session, we’ll talk through whats going on at home, work, or elsewhere in your life that might be causing you to use food to cope. We’ll also work on identifying other ways of coping that work well for you.
Through our work, you’ll stop eating a way that doesn’t feel good— but you’ll also start to create a life of more ease, joy and fun. My overall goal for you is to leave the food noise behind, so that you can enjoy a more present, engaged life.

Under-Eating
(dieting, Anorexia)
Food restriction can take over daily life—constant thoughts about eating, anxiety around meals, and the fear of losing control. Whether you’re avoiding certain foods due to body image concerns, health fears, or a need for control, therapy provides real tools to help them develop a balanced and healthy relationship with food. Together, we’ll work on challenging restrictive thoughts, building flexibility around eating, and creating a sense of trust and nourishment.
Body Image Issues
Struggles with body image can impact every aspect of life—critical self-talk, comparing to others, and feeling uncomfortable in their own skin. Whether you’re preoccupied with appearance, experiencing low self-esteem, or engaging in harmful body-checking behaviors, therapy provides real tools to help them build a healthier self-image. Together, we’ll work on challenging negative thoughts, fostering self-acceptance, and developing confidence that isn’t tied to appearance.
Over-Eating
(Binge Eating)
Eating past fullness, feeling out of control around food, and experiencing guilt or shame after eating can be overwhelming. Whether you’re using food to cope with emotions, stuck in a cycle of restriction and overeating, or struggling with compulsive eating habits, therapy provides real tools to help them break free. Together, we’ll work on understanding emotional triggers, building mindful eating habits, and creating a balanced, guilt-free relationship with food.
