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.
