EATING DISORDERS AND BODY IMAGE THERAPY
I offer Eating Disorder and Body Image Therapy in-person and online in Utah, along with online therapy for clients in California, New York, and Idaho.
Your relationship with food or your body has become exhausting.
You might be thinking about it more than you want to—
what you ate, what you shouldn’t have eaten, how your body looks, what needs to change.
It can feel like a constant loop.
Part of you wants things to be different.
But another part of you feels stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break.
You might tell yourself:
“I just need more control.”
“Why can’t I just do this right?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
And underneath all of it, there’s often a lot of pressure—
to be better, to do better, to be enough.
You might be here if:
You feel stuck in cycles with food, restriction, bingeing, or control
You’re constantly thinking about your body or how you look
You feel guilt or shame around eating
You’re hard on yourself and feel like you’re never doing “enough”
You feel disconnected from your body or unsure how to listen to it
You feel like your self-worth is tied to your body or your habits
You’ve tried to change things, but keep falling back into the same patterns
Even if it doesn’t look extreme from the outside,
it can still feel overwhelming on the inside.
HOW I CAN HELP
This isn’t just about food or your body.
This isn’t just about food or your body.
There’s usually something deeper underneath—
like shame, control, anxiety, or past experiences that haven’t been fully processed.
In our work together, we start to understand what’s actually driving these patterns.
Not with judgment.
Not by forcing change.
But by helping you:
understand your thoughts and behaviors
recognize what’s underneath them
build a different relationship with yourself
As that understanding grows, things can start to shift.
WHAT YOU MIGHT START TO NOTICE:
Healing doesn’t mean everything is perfect.
It can look like:
less constant thinking about food or your body
less guilt and shame around eating
feeling more connected to your body
being less hard on yourself
having more flexibility and freedom in your choices
Things don’t have to stay the way they are right now.
Intuitive Eating
Intuitive Eating is a gentle, compassionate approach to healing your relationship with food and your body. Instead of focusing on rules, restriction, or control, it helps you reconnect with your body’s natural cues—like hunger, fullness, and satisfaction.
For many people, struggles with food are not just about food. They’re often connected to deeper experiences—stress, shame, trauma, or a sense of disconnection from yourself. Intuitive Eating creates space to explore those patterns with curiosity and care, rather than judgment.
Together, we’ll begin to untangle the pressure, guilt, and rigidity that may have shaped your relationship with food. Over time, this can lead to feeling more trusting of your body, more flexible in your eating, and more at peace within yourself.
This work isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection. And slowly, that connection can begin to change the way you experience both food and your body.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eating Disorders + Body Image Therapy
-
No.
A lot of people I work with don’t identify with a specific diagnosis—they just know their relationship with food or their body feels stressful, overwhelming, or hard to manage.
If it’s taking up a lot of mental space or affecting how you feel about yourself, that’s enough.
-
These patterns usually aren’t just about food or your body.
They’re often connected to things like anxiety, control, shame, or past experiences that haven’t been fully processed.
Even if part of you wants to change, another part of you is trying to cope the best way it knows how.
That’s why it can feel so hard to “just stop.”
-
Yes.
Body image isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you see yourself and how you feel in your body.
In therapy, we work on understanding where those beliefs and patterns come from, so they don’t have as much control over you.
Over time, many people notice less shame, less pressure, and more neutrality or acceptance.
-
This isn’t about forcing change or telling you what you “should” be doing.
We focus on understanding what’s underneath your patterns so that any changes come from a place of awareness—not pressure or shame.cription
-
That’s really common.
A lot of people feel this way at first.
We go at your pace, and you don’t have to share anything before you’re ready.
Most people find that once they start talking about it, it feels less heavy than carrying it alone.
-
Yes.
That doesn’t mean everything becomes perfect.
But it can mean:
less constant thinking about food
less guilt and shame
more flexibility and freedom
feeling more at ease in your own body
Things can feel different than they do right now.
-
Body image concerns involve how you think and feel about your body, while an eating disorder includes more persistent patterns with food, eating behaviors, and body image that can impact your physical and emotional well-being. Both can be deeply distressing, and both deserve support.
