Eating Disorders

Eating Disorder Therapy, Compassionate & Faith-Centered

Disordered eating is rarely about food — it is often about control, pain, and a longing to feel safe. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental, faith-centered therapy for eating and body-image struggles.

Who this is for

  • Your relationship with food or your body causes distress
  • You use food to cope with difficult emotions
  • Shame and control feel tangled up with eating
  • You want care that respects your faith and your body

Understanding the roots

Eating struggles often grow from trauma, anxiety, control, and shame. We address those roots with compassion, building a kinder, steadier relationship with food and self.

A client-led, weight-inclusive approach

  • Non-judgmental, collaborative, and paced by you
  • Body image, identity, and self-worth beyond appearance
  • Coordination with medical providers and dietitians
  • Tools for recovery and relapse prevention

Common questions

Do I need a medical team too?

For many eating concerns, coordinated care with a physician and dietitian is important. I am glad to work alongside your medical providers.

Will you focus on my weight?

No. My approach is weight-inclusive and focused on your relationship with food, your body, and the emotions underneath — not a number on a scale.

Take the first step, when you’re ready

Reaching out can feel like a big step. There’s no pressure here — just a compassionate conversation about whether this is the right fit for you.
