Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, or Body Image Distress:

If thoughts about food, eating, exercise, or your body consume a significant amount of your mental energy, you are not alone. Eating disorders and disordered eating often become much bigger than food itself. They can impact relationships, school, work, social experiences, self-esteem, and your overall quality of life.

Many people find themselves trapped in cycles of rules, guilt, shame, and self-criticism. Even when they desperately want freedom, it can feel impossible to imagine letting go of the behaviors that have come to feel safe or familiar.

Therapy can help you understand the deeper function these struggles may be serving while building a healthier, more flexible relationship with food, your body, and yourself. Together, we'll work toward greater freedom, self-trust, and connection to the parts of life that matter most.
