BULIMIA NERVOSA & BINGE EATING DISORDER (B.E.D)
I am trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) and Dialetical Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (DBT-E) for binge eating and bulimia. Together we will explore situational and emotional triggers for unhelpful eating habits, build skills to cope with painful or uncomfortable feelings in new and healthier ways, gain awareness of urges and cravings without acting on them, break free from self-judgment, cultivate body compassion, and make meaningful behavior changes, one step at a time.
ANOREXIA NERVOSA
I am trained to offer cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral treatment for restricting eating disorders. Treatment will focus on changing disordered eating behaviors, and also thoughts and feelings about our bodies and ourselves. Together we will build body acceptance, enhance self-esteem, reduce perfectionism, discuss and gently change eating habits and patterns that aren’t working, learn ways to manage and tolerate difficult situations and emotions, and cultivate loving kindness toward ourselves.
Finding the right type of eating disorder treatment can be complex. If outpatient treatment is not the right fit for you, I am happy to provide additional resources regarding other treatment options. I can also provide support and resources for family and friends of those who are struggling.
