Disordered Eating & Body Image 

Reconnecting with Your Body

​

Our relationships with food and our bodies are never just about willpower—they’re shaped by experiences, identity, culture, and emotion. Disordered eating can be a way of coping with pain, a response to trauma, or a way of finding control in a world that feels overwhelming. For many, it’s also tied to deeper feelings of shame, disconnection, or a sense of not being at home in one’s own body.

Whether you’re navigating restrictive eating, bingeing, purging, compulsive exercise, or body image distress, you are not alone—and your symptoms make sense in the context of what you’ve lived through.

A Compassionate, Inclusive Approach

​I offer eating disorder treatment that is trauma-informed, affirming, and adapted to each individual. My work is grounded in a Health at Every Size (HAES)-aligned perspective and aims to support people of all sizes, genders, and identities. I recognize the ways that disordered eating often intersects with other experiences—like trauma, anxiety, gender dysphoria, or cultural pressure—and I strive to hold all of that complexity with care. My doctoral research focused on eating disorders and body image within the trans community, and I remain deeply committed to providing inclusive care that respects your lived experience and identity.

Toward Healing, Not Perfection

Recovery doesn’t mean loving your body every moment—it means cultivating respect, safety, and agency in your relationship with it. In therapy, we’ll work together to explore the emotional roots of disordered eating, build sustainable coping tools, and gently reconnect with parts of yourself that may have felt silenced or at war. Healing is not linear—but it is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
