eating disorder Therapy
Treating adults in San Diego and throughout California
Do you wish you could finally be at peace with food and your body?
Maybe other areas in your life are doing ok, but when it comes to food and body issues, you feel completely trapped. Or perhaps your loved ones are starting to notice your disordered eating patterns and you feel scared. You may be becoming more and more preoccupied with thoughts about food and your body, or simply spending most of your time engaging in behaviors you wish you could stop. It’s possible that you’re feeling ashamed, depressed and hopeless.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to become aware of the impact of this in every facet of your life:
When out to dinner with others, you spend the whole meal calculating the calories on everyone’s plate and find it hard to stay present
You spend so much time getting ready because you hate how everything looks on you, that sometimes you abandon plans altogether
Every day, you make a promise not to restrict, binge and/or purge, yet at the end of the day it’s like someone else took over your mind
eating disorder therapy can help
It may feel impossible now, but you can find freedom from that voice in your head telling you you’re not okay as is. You can stop the vicious cycle of restrict-binge-purge-exercise-hate yourself on rinse and repeat. You can stop measuring your worth by that number on the scale. And I can help you get there.
Eating disorder therapy helps you to:
Discover the real reason you’re stuck in these behaviors (hint: it has nothing to do with food)
Break down problematic beliefs that you’ve internalized, and start deciding for yourself how to feel about your body
Learn the tools that will help you break free of this cycle and start to enjoy life again
I’ll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to eating disorder therapy is centered around the Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy, and comes from a place of acceptance and hope, so you can end the cycle that is holding you back from achieving your dreams.
You don’t have to live life trying to meet an impossible standard and feeling like a failure because nothing is working.
I can help.
