Eating Disorder Recovery

I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). I work with clients across the eating disorder diagnosis spectrum including binge eating disorder, bulimia, anorexia, and avoidant and restrictive food intake disorder.

My Approach to Eating Disorder Recovery

Recovery from an eating disorder is deeply personal, and I'm here to provide compassionate, evidence-based support every step of the way. My goal is to help you break free from the cycle of disordered eating and rediscover the joy and freedom that comes with nourishing yourself.

Together, we will work to normalize your eating patterns and teach you how to fuel your body adequately. This means learning to honor your hunger cues, understanding your body's nutritional needs, and establishing consistent eating routines that support your physical and emotional well-being.

We'll challenge the food rules that have kept you trapped—whether that's labeling foods as "good" or "bad," restricting certain food groups, or following rigid eating schedules. We'll also work through fear foods at a pace that feels right for you, gradually expanding your food flexibility and reducing the anxiety around eating.

Healing Your Relationship with Food and Your Body

Beyond the mechanics of eating, I'm committed to helping you develop a more peaceful relationship with food and your body. This includes:

• Rejecting diet culture and its harmful messages
• Building body trust and respect
• Separating your worth from your weight or appearance
• Finding joy and satisfaction in eating again
• Developing coping strategies that don't involve food or body control

You deserve to live a life free from the constraints of an eating disorder. My role is to walk alongside you, provide expert guidance, and create a safe space where healing can happen. Recovery is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.

I believe in collaborative care. When it comes to treatment for an eating disorder, it's important to have a team of trained professionals to help guide you through your recovery journey.

Recovery isn't a solo endeavor—it requires comprehensive support that addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of healing. A well-rounded treatment team typically includes:

• A Registered Dietitian who specializes in eating disorders to help you rebuild a healthy relationship with food and develop sustainable eating patterns
• A therapist or psychologist to address the underlying emotional and behavioral factors contributing to your eating disorder
• A primary care provider to monitor your physical health and manage any medical complications
• A psychiatrist if medication is needed to support your mental health and recovery

Each team member brings unique expertise, and when they work together, they create a safety net of support around you. This collaborative approach ensures that all aspects of your well-being are addressed, making your path to recovery more effective and sustainable.
