Eating disorders are quite deep and are one of the hardest issues to work with in psychological terms. so many problems may cause the symptoms but with many years of experience we have many tools in the bag to help. It can be simply a cry for help or a way the mind used to develop a coping mechanism against controlling parent(s) or to arm oneself from systematic abuse or fears. So many causes but many solutions on the table for us to use.
Finding peace with your body and food is a true struggle in the times and culture we inhabit. Whether you are struggling with full-on eating disorders such as anorexia, binge eating disorder (BED), or bulimia, or have a hard time finding a connection to your body and eating, there are tools and support for you. We have multiple resources including cognitive, trauma-based, somatic, and experiential therapies to begin the path of creating and walking in a loving healthy relationship with food and with your body. There are no one-size-fits-all approaches as eating disorders are most often the symptom rather than the root. Changing behaviors allow us to begin to see the power of 'embodiment' and how truly free and powerful you are to become......yourself.

Eating disorders are one of the most challenging conditions for psychologists to treat. There are many causes and many manifestations. I take an individual approach based upon the history, the client's circumstances, and the way in which the disorder presents itself.
Embarking on a transformative journey to reclaim your relationship with food is not just about recovery; it's about rediscovering your strength and resilience. As a coaching psychologist specializing in eating challenges, I bring a dynamic and empowering approach to our work together. We won't just navigate the complexities of your eating habits; we'll also unravel the unique threads that contribute to your story. My approach is grounded in empathy and evidence-based interventions, tailored to meet your unique needs.
