Eating Disorders Recovery & Body Image

Compassionate, trauma-informed support for your relationship with food and body.

Struggles with food, body image, and control can feel deeply personal and isolating. Eating disorders and disordered eating often develop as ways of coping with stress, trauma, or overwhelming emotions. Therapy can offer a supportive space to understand these patterns and build a more peaceful relationship with food, body, and self.

My approach to eating disorder recovery is grounded in both professional training and lived insight into how identity, self-worth, and our relationship with food impacts wellbeing. I bring steadiness, nuance, and compassion to this work.

This service may be a good fit if you are experiencing:

  • An eating disorder and/or disordered eating patterns

  • Chronic dieting, food rules, or feeling “out of control” around food

  • Body image distress, shame, or preoccupation with weight/shape

  • Binge eating, restriction, purging, or compensatory behaviours

  • Anxiety, perfectionism, or trauma connected to food and body

  • Recovery challenges or relapse concerns

  • Caregiver or family stress related to a loved one’s eating disorder

  • Feeling trapped in cycles of restriction, bingeing, or purging

  • Food and weight dominating thoughts and daily life

  • Difficulty trusting hunger and fullness cues

  • Shame, secrecy, or fear around eating and body changes

  • Trauma, control, or emotional regulation through food

  • Co-occurring anxiety, depression, trauma, or ADHD

  • Challenges in relationships, work, or school due to eating concerns

Common Concerns in Eating Disorders Therapy:

  • Understanding the emotional and nervous system roots of eating behaviours

  • Developing compassionate, sustainable coping skills beyond food or control

  • Rebuilding trust with your body and internal cues

  • Challenging perfectionism, shame, and self-criticism

  • Processing trauma or life experiences that contribute to eating concerns

  • Strengthening identity and self-worth beyond appearance or performance

  • Collaborating with dietitians, physicians, or other supports when appropriate

Recovery is not linear, and therapy is paced collaboratively, with respect for your readiness, safety, and goals.
