In working with eating disorders, I approach our sessions as an opportunity to separate the problem from your sense of self. We explore the influence of societal pressures, personal beliefs, and experiences that may have contributed to the development of an eating disorder, viewing it as an external force rather than a defining part of you. Together, we’ll uncover your values, strengths, and relationships that stand in contrast to the eating disorder’s influence, helping you reclaim a sense of agency and choice. This process allows space for you to reconnect with your body and your life in a way that feels nurturing, empowering, and aligned with your true self.
