How I Approach Eating Disorder & Body Image Therapy

I take a weight-neutral, non-diet approach rooted in compassion and curiosity. My work is not about controlling food or changing your body. It is about understanding what is underneath, rebuilding trust with yourself, and finding freedom from the thoughts and behaviours that are keeping you stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eating & Body Image Therapy

Eating disorder therapy helps you explore the emotional, cognitive, sociocultural, and relational patterns underneath disordered eating behaviours. I take a compassionate, non-diet approach that focuses on healing your relationship with food and your body, not on weight or appearance.

An eating disorder is a clinical diagnosis such as anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. Disordered eating refers to a range of difficult and distressing relationships with food that may not meet diagnostic criteria but still cause significant suffering. You do not need a diagnosis to seek support. If your relationship with food or your body is impacting your daily life, therapy can help.

Body image therapy helps you explore and shift the way you see, feel, and relate to your body. Many people struggle with persistent negative thoughts about their appearance, body checking, or avoiding activities because of how they feel in their body. Therapy creates space to understand where these beliefs came from and to build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
