Eating Disorder & Body Image Therapy
Areas of support...
Binge Eating Therapy
Binge eating can feel overwhelming—like you’re trapped in a cycle you can’t break.
My approach blends CBT, neuroscience, and mindful eating principles to help you understand the brain’s reward systems, identify emotional triggers, and develop a calmer, more connected relationship with food.
You may benefit from Binge Eating Therapy if you:
-
Regularly eat large amounts of food in a short period, often feeling out of control
-
Eat in secret or experience guilt and shame after eating
-
Use food to cope with stress, boredom, or emotions
-
Struggle with dieting, restriction, and then overeating
-
We’ll uncover the biological and emotional drivers behind binge eating, including how restriction and stress impact brain chemistry.
You’ll learn CBT strategies to interrupt the binge-restrict cycle and practice intuitive eating tools to reconnect with your body’s hunger and fullness cues.
Mindful eating exercises will help reduce urgency and bring more awareness and satisfaction to meals.
I create a non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about your experiences without shame.
We'll focus on skill-building, self-compassion, and science-based strategies to help you feel in control around food.
Anorexia Therapy
Anorexia is about so much more than food or weight—it’s a deeply complex condition that can impact your body, brain, and emotions in powerful ways.
My approach combines neuroscience, biology, and evidence-based tools like CBT to help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body.
Together, we’ll also explore intuitive and mindful eating strategies to rebuild trust with food, your body, and yourself.
You may benefit from Anorexia Therapy if you:
-
Struggle with intense fears around weight gain or eating certain foods
-
Experience rigid food rules or extreme restriction
-
Feel disconnected from hunger and fullness signals
-
Have physical symptoms from undernourishment such as fatigue, dizziness, or poor concentration
-
In our work, you’ll learn how the brain and body respond to prolonged restriction—and how to gently reintroduce nourishment in a way that feels safe.
CBT tools will help challenge unhelpful thoughts, while mindful eating practices guide you toward listening to your body’s cues.
We’ll focus on progress over perfection, with practical strategies to support both physical healing and emotional well-being.
My style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in science. I’ll help you understand the biology of anorexia—how the brain adapts to restriction, why certain thoughts feel so persistent, and how your body can relearn safety around food.
Sessions are paced to your comfort level, with a mix of skills training, education, and compassionate support.
Bulimia Therapy
Bulimia isn’t just about “eating too much” or “lacking control”—it’s a complex cycle driven by the brain’s survival mechanisms, emotional regulation patterns, and deeply ingrained habits.
I work from a compassionate, non-judgmental space using CBT, neuroscience-informed strategies, and mindful eating to help you break the binge–purge cycle and rebuild trust in your body.
You may benefit from Bulimia Therapy if you:
-
Feel trapped in cycles of binge eating and purging (vomiting, laxatives, excessive exercise)
-
Experience intense guilt, shame, or secrecy around food
-
Swing between strict restriction and feeling out of control
-
Struggle with perfectionism, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm
-
In therapy, we will begin by understanding the brain’s “threat–reward” loop that fuels the binge–purge cycle.
Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), you will learn to challenge all-or-nothing thinking and disrupt unhelpful habits.
We’ll practice mindful eating techniques to help you slow down, notice your body’s cues, and reduce urges to binge or purge.
Together, we will explore non-food ways to regulate emotions and cope with stress, while building consistent and flexible eating patterns to stabilize both your body and brain.
I blend CBT with neuroscience education so you can see how your brain is trying to protect you—and learn how to respond differently.
Together, we’ll create a safety net of coping skills, nutrition stabilization, and body respect so you can step out of the cycle for good.
ARFID Therapy
If eating feels stressful because of sensory issues, fear of choking, past negative food experiences, or a very limited list of “safe” foods, ARFID therapy can help.
I work from a gentle, step-by-step approach that blends CBT, exposure therapy principles, neuroscience, and mindful curiosity toward food.
This approach is for children, teens, or adults who:
-
Avoid many foods due to texture, smell, or taste sensitivities
-
Have anxiety or fear around eating unfamiliar foods
-
Eat a very limited diet that’s impacting nutrition, growth, or health
-
Want to expand food variety without pressure or overwhelm
-
Throughout therapy, you will learn how the brain’s fear system and sensory processing influence your eating behaviours.
We will use CBT and exposure-based strategies to gradually reduce anxiety around new foods. Our sessions will include curiosity-driven sensory play and mindful tasting to make food exploration engaging rather than overwhelming.
For children, we will work closely with parents to create a supportive, pressure-free environment and develop coping tools for managing stress or overwhelm during meals.
ARFID recovery is never about “forcing” change—it’s about creating safety and trust first.
We go at your pace, celebrate small wins, and use a neuroscience-based understanding of anxiety to make progress sustainable.
Body Image Therapy
Body image challenges aren’t just about “not liking what you see”—they’re about how you feel in your body, how you relate to it, and the beliefs you’ve absorbed over time.
Using CBT, neuroscience, and self-compassion work, I help clients reshape their relationship with their body beyond the mirror.
You may benefit from Body Image Therapy if you:
-
Spend a lot of time thinking about your body size or shape
-
Avoid photos, mirrors, or social situations because of appearance concerns
-
Engage in frequent body checking or comparison
-
Feel your mood and confidence change based on your weight or clothing fit
-
In therapy, we will explore how your brain stores and recalls memories related to body image.
Through CBT, you will challenge distorted thinking patterns and work to reduce compulsive body checking behaviours.
Mindfulness practices will help you reconnect with your body sensations from a place of respect rather than judgment.
Together, we will focus on values-based living that is independent of appearance and develop practical tools to navigate social and media pressures with greater ease.
I believe your worth is not defined by your body size. Together, we’ll create a more neutral, respectful, and supportive relationship with your body, so it becomes a place you can live in—not a project to constantly fix.
If Binge Eating is ruining your health, relationships, or daily life, you don’t have to go through it alone. Book your free consultation or reach out to me with your questions and concerns!
