Treatment for Eating Disorders and Body Image Distress

Everywhere we look we are given the message that we are too much or not enough. We are flooded with products, promises, medications, and memberships, all capitalizing on the fact that we are never allowed to relax into ourselves or our bodies. Sometimes this results in disordered eating behaviors like food restriction, binging, constant dieting, or over-exercise, and other times we may harbor these feelings exclusively on the inside and live with a secret self-loathing and shame. 

My approach to working with disordered eating and body image distress is based on an inherent trust that our behaviors serve a function and our feelings carry wisdom. Eating is perhaps our earliest, most primal need, and often exploring our eating behaviors without judgement can help us to understand what deeper needs may be going unmet.  We tend to do with food what we do with our feelings, whether pushing them down, helplessly watching them explode, or restricting them all together. Our work can help you cultivate a genuine curiosity toward your feelings and behaviors, shifting your relationship with food from one based in a battle for control to one based in trust and self care.
