EATING DISORDER THERAPY IN MICHIGAN
Healing Your Relationship with Food and Your Body
Are you exhausted from the constant thoughts about your body size or what you eat? Do these worries overshadow your enjoyment of life, causing you to miss out on enjoying meals with others, social events and cherished moments with friends? If you find yourself caught in a cycle of planning, worrying, and feeling guilt or shame around food, you're not alone.
​
I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and more. My work is rooted in a Health At Every Size (HAES) informed approach, which emphasizes that health cannot be determined solely by size and that healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes—a beautiful truth!
Your Path to Healing Starts Here
I am dedicated to providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to explore your relationship with food and body image. Together, we will navigate the complexities of eating disorders, helping you rediscover joy in eating and your life. Let’s embark on this journey of healing and self-acceptance together.
Reconnect with Your Body
Many of my clients come to me feeling disconnected from their bodies. They often struggle to trust their body's hunger and fullness cues, leading to a fraught relationship with food. Together, we will work on healing this connection, honoring the inherent wisdom of your body to nourish you, and celebrating all that your body can do. I focus on body neutrality, guiding you to recognize that you are so much more than your physical appearance. This approach helps shift the emphasis away from how your body looks to what it can do, fostering self-acceptance and gratitude.
A Safe Space for Your Journey
Eating disorders can lead to a feeling of lack of control and often provoke shame that makes it hard to reach out for help. In our sessions, you will find a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share your struggles without fear. Here, you won’t have to hide or face these challenges alone. We will work together to equip you with the tools to break free from the confines of disordered eating and reclaim the life you deserve—one that is free from the constant obsessions about food and appearance.
Evidence-Based Strategies for Recovery
Utilizing a person-centered approach, I tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs, incorporating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). We will unlearn the toxic diet myths perpetuated by our culture, which can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. By recognizing and challenging these harmful beliefs, we can pave the way for a healthier mindset that honors your individuality and supports your recovery.
You Are Enough
Through this process, you will discover that you are already enough, just as you are. Recovery from an eating disorder is not only possible but incredibly rewarding. Together, we will cultivate a relationship with food that allows you to enjoy meals with others, engage in life fully, and celebrate the joys of living without the burden of disordered thoughts about food and your body.
