Be honest with yourself.
Aren't you tired?
Tired of the effort it takes to keep your eating disorder hidden from those that you love? Of the unshakeable feeling that your body is the enemy? Of the never-ending pressure to be perfect?
I know the feeling well, and I can help.
I offer somatic-based eating disorder therapy to help you make peace with the mirror and reclaim safety within your body.

You only get one body. It's time to make peace with it.
You weren't born hating your body. But, somewhere along the way, something changed.
Maybe trauma ravaged your nervous system, making it hard to feel safe in your body. Perhaps diet culture convinced you that your body wasn't good enough and needed to be changed. Or maybe you were so young when you waged the war on your body that you don't remember a time when the two of you were a team.
​
Whatever it was that introduced you to body hatred still has a grip on you today. You cringe at the sight of your reflection, avoid connecting with your felt sense, and fight to control your body at all costs.
​
​
But, the truth is that you're exhausted. The things you have used to cope for so long aren't quite working anymore, but the alternative to them is terrifying.
​
If you have been looking for a sign that there is something better out there, here it is: Recovery is worth it. Life is so much richer than what your eating disorder allows it to be.
The truth is that you and your body are in this for the long run. You only get to experience this life once, and it's in the body that you have. If that sounds daunting, it is possible to rediscover peace within your body. That's where our work comes in.
