Care for Your Physical and Emotional Needs
Eating Disorder & Body Image Treatment
In-person in Westport, CT & online throughout Connecticut and Florida
The Relationship with food and eating is often one of the most difficult to manage.
Eating Disorder & Body Image Treatment can help you regain control of your personal health and emotional wellness.
The answer isn't what people try to say it is: “Just eat.” If you’ve heard this once, you’ve probably heard it a thousand times, but if your relationship with food and your body image was as simple as that, you’d have conquered the problem long ago and wouldn’t need eating disorder treatment.
Since you’re here, I know that you know that. You know that this thing isn’t just something you tackle on your own by “pulling up your bootstraps” and scarfing down a bunch of calories.
Eating disorders are SERIOUS and can lead to all sorts of physical, emotional, and even relational struggles.
I get that. I work with people just like you who feel they have tried literally everything, yet still can’t find happiness and a sense of peace with regards to their eating and body image. You know what? Many of them come into my office for their initial session scared, hurting, and in need of all sorts of healing. After participation in treatment, literally hundreds of clients have found hope, perspective, peace, and healing through putting in the hard work to get better.
And You Can Too.
Your Health is Too Important to Continue to Risk
If you or a loved one is wrestling with the shadows of an eating disorder, you're not alone. Many of my clients have walked the challenging path of healing, and today, are well on their way towards health and wellness.
When Food Isn't Just Food
For many, food is a source of joy, nourishment, and shared memories around the table with friends. But for those who've faced an eating disorder, it becomes a battleground of emotions, control, and struggles with body image and overall self-worth. Looking in the mirror can become too much like confronting an adversary. It doesn't have to stay that way for you. Treatment, understanding, and self-love can change the narrative of your story.
You are the Hero of your story, NOT the Victim.
We Will Create a Customized Roadmap to Healing
No two stories of eating disorders are identical. Your story is not the same as any of my previous clients. Each person's struggle comes with its unique triggers, emotions, and patterns. Recognizing this, my work with you will be tailored to resonate with your personal journey and address your personal concerns and struggles.
Together, we'll:
Uncover and address the root causes and emotions driving the disorder.
Equip you with tools and strategies to navigate food choices healthily.
Rebuild a positive body image and cultivate self-love.
Bridging the Gap: Mind, Body, and Soul
Eating disorders aren't just about food. They're deeply mixed with our emotions, self-perception, and overall mental well-being. Many of the most profound transformations for my eating disorder and body image treatment clients occur when they begin to integrate the healing of mind, body, and soul.
Our comprehensive program will focus on:
Therapy Sessions: Direct, Empathetic, and Understanding deep dives into understanding the emotional and psychological facets of where your weaknesses and strengths lie and what you need to turn it around.
Nutritional Guidance: Learn to foster a healthy relationship with food, focusing on nourishment and personal enjoyment. No pressure to just eat.
Holistic Approaches: Embrace various methods of relaxation and healing.
From Desolation to Celebration: A Transformation Awaits
Once you are on the other side of your eating disorder and body image struggles, you’ll be able to celebrate the persistence, courage, and strength you’ve gained and learned to find in yourself through therapy and treatment. You’ll emerge stronger, healthier, and more in love with yourself. This can be your story.
Are You Ready to Reclaim Your Story?
Healing from an eating disorder is not just about mending one's relationship with food. It's about rediscovering the joy of life, the beauty within you, and the strength you possess. You deserve a life free from the chains of this disorder.
If you're reading this, you've already taken the first, courageous step towards healing. Let's journey together towards a brighter, healthier, and more fulfilled tomorrow.

Common questions about Eating Disorder & Body Image Treatment
-
Absolutely not! In fact, it means that you are doing what so many other people do: Seeking assistance in the areas that you struggle, so that you can get back to health and feeling happy with yourself.
-
While it is difficult to tell how long eating disorder and body image therapy will last for you, I can tell you that this work is often extremely effective and transformative for my clients. Most need weekly sessions initially, followed by less frequent sessions for awhile, and eventually infrequent check-ins to help process new struggles and celebrate wins.
-
We can get you started as soon as this week with an initial consultation to determine fit, then sessions scheduled going forward.

Therapy is provided in person in Connecticut or via video throughout CT or FL.
