About me
I work as a therapist to help people heal their relationships with their bodies and food. For many years, I battled with my own eating disorder voice(s), and it was through my own journey of recovery that I found my calling to help others who face similar challenges. I have been running my Instagram account (@realistic.body.therapist) since 2020. I want to make therapy accessible to the masses through the use of social media.
As a therapist specializing in eating disorders, my personal experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding these conditions, allowing me to connect with my clients on a profound level. I am intimately familiar with the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that can accompany an eating disorder, and I approach each client's journey with patience, empathy, and unwavering support.
My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where you can openly explore your relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Together, we will work towards developing healthy coping mechanisms, fostering self-acceptance, and reclaiming a positive sense of self. I believe in the transformative power of therapy and the resilience of the human spirit, and I am dedicated to guiding you through every step of your recovery journey. Through a combination of compassion, insight, and evidence-based interventions, we will work together to create lasting change and empower you to live a life free from the grips of an eating disorder.

Approach
I primarily use schema-focused therapy techniques, addressing unmet emotional needs and understanding different parts of the self, such as the Inner Child and Inner Critic, and how they influence your perception of your body and relationship with food. I choose to practice integrative therapy, which means I combine techniques from different approaches according to my client’s needs. The area of my focus is eating disorders, however eating disorders cannot be isolated from other disorders; they are usually accompanied by other problems such as depression, trauma, emotion dysregulation. So feel free to contact me if you would like to work on your relationship with food, even when you have other complaints.
