Therapy for eating disorders in WA

Embrace food freedom and honor your here-and-now body.

Let me guess…

Is your troubled relationship with food and your body getting in the way of your ability to remain present?

Do you find yourself meticulously counting calories, obsessing over your step count, and belittling yourself in the mirror every chance you get? It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, these thoughts and behaviors are common - many people struggle in relationship with food and their bodies. We live in a diet-centric world that pulls us away from following our own intuition.

It can feel hard to imagine the possibility of recovery; I get it and been there. I believe full recovery is possible, and it is not something you have to do alone.

Recovery is possible.

Therapy can help you move towards recovery.

Right now recovery might feel far away. I am here to remind you that recovery happens in steps, and we can take these steps together.

I work from a Health at Every Size, anti-diet approach to treatment. Together, we will work towards your goals for recovery at your own pace. I emphasize reconnecting my clients with their internal wisdom so they can understand their emotions, feel present, and live life on their terms.

Treatment for eating disorders often benefit from a treatment team approach with a therapist, dietitian, and medical care. If you aren’t sure if you need a treatment team or how to set one up, that is something I can help with in your initial appointment.
