Disordered Eating Counseling
Do you ever feel out of control around food? Do you skip meals or rigidly restrict what you eat? Are you consumed with thoughts about your weight, body shape, or food choices?
Many people know what an eating disorder is, but disordered eating can feel harder to define. It’s not a diagnosis, but it describes a wide range of harmful eating behaviors that can negatively affect both your body and your mental health. While it may not always look as extreme as a full-blown eating disorder, disordered eating can still take over your life—causing anxiety around meals, obsessive exercising, feelings of guilt and shame, or constantly thinking about food and your body. Over time, this takes a toll on your health, your self-worth, and your ability to enjoy life.
If you find yourself struggling with:
Frequent dieting or obsessive calorie counting
Skipping meals or restricting food rigidly
Anxiety, guilt, or shame about eating certain foods
Exercise as punishment or obsessive exercise routines
Bingeing, purging, or feeling out of control with food
Basing your worth on body shape or weight
… you are not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle.
My Approach
In therapy, we work together to understand the deeper roots of your struggles with food and body image. Often, disordered eating isn’t just about food—it’s about the emotions, beliefs, and experiences underneath. I guide my clients through a process of:
Coming to terms with their bodies – learning to soften self-criticism and build compassion toward yourself.
Appreciating and respecting your body – shifting from seeing your body as something to control, to honoring it as something to care for.
Rewiring your relationship with food – breaking free from rigid rules and shame cycles, and learning to trust yourself again.
Practicing intuitive eating and living – reconnecting with your body’s signals, so eating feels natural, balanced, and satisfying instead of stressful.
Clients often find this work to be incredibly freeing and healing—like lifting a weight they’ve carried for years. Over time, food no longer feels like the enemy, and your body begins to feel like a partner, not something you’re at war with.
If you’re ready to build a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself, I’d be honored to walk with you on that journey.
