Who I help

What I help with.

If any of these are the words running through your head, you're in the right place. I work with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image, and you don't need a diagnosis, or a struggle that looks "serious enough," to come.

01

"I can't stop eating."

The binges, eating past full, the secret late-night eating, and the shame that follows. It rarely begins with food.

02

"I diet, then binge, then start again."

The restrict-then-binge cycle that tightens the harder you try to control it. Every Monday a fresh start; every slip, proof you've "failed."

03

"I can't stop counting calories."

Counting, weighing, tracking, "good" and "bad" foods, fear foods, eating by the rules in your head instead of by hunger.

04

"I keep checking my body in the mirror."

Body checking, pinching, the scale, scanning your reflection again and again, and the spiral that follows each look.

05

"I hate the way my body looks today."

Bad body image days, "feeling fat," nothing fitting right, when your body becomes the place every other feeling seems to land.

06

"I'm scared of gaining weight."

The dread of your body changing, and how frightening weight gain can feel, especially when getting well seems to ask for it.

07

"I feel like I have to work out."

Compulsive exercise, "earning" food, the guilt of a rest day, when movement stops being something you choose.

08

"I think about food all the time."

The constant mental noise, planning, dreading, replaying meals, comparing your body to everyone else's, that crowds out the rest of your life.

09

"Am I even sick enough to get help?"

Disordered eating that looks fine, even high-functioning, from the outside. If you're asking the question, you're allowed to reach out.

"Part of me doesn't want to recover."

Feeling unsure you even want to let it go, missing it, holding on. That ambivalence is welcome here, not a problem to hide.
