In my psychotherapy practice, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for patients struggling with eating disorders. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and nutritional guidance to address the emotional and psychological aspects of disordered eating. I work collaboratively with patients to develop healthier relationships with food and body image, empowering them to achieve sustainable recovery and improved well-being. Through tailored support, patients gain the tools to manage symptoms and embrace a balanced, fulfilling life.

I use a bio-psycho-social approach when working with an individual with an eating disorder including anorexia, bulimia, or body dysmorphic disorder. Do you know the cues or triggers of your eating difficulties? The thoughts related to and feelings behind your eating or non-eating patterns? What is the function of your eating disorder? Do you have a realistic body and self image? Do you have a history of depression or other mood related difficulties? These are some of the questions, we will examine and have you answer in therapy. Eating disorders may require the involvement of other professionals like a nutritionist for example.
