therapy for
food & body issues

in person in DC or virtually in MD, VA, or DC

Your whole life, you’ve been told you have to look a certain way to be worthy and wanted.

It’s not about vanity - it’s about safety.

Or maybe your food and body issues have very little to do with how you look.

Maybe for you…

…you’ve discovered that you can find some relief from your feelings by running till your lungs feel like they’re going to burst.

…or maybe the hunger that grows when you skip meals and snacks distracts you from whatever else has been bothering you.

…or when you feel like you don’t fit in or belong, working on losing weight seems like a way to get others to accept you.

If these experiences sound like you, you’re in the right place:

  • You’re so amazing at engineering these detailed eating and exercise plans, and they always start off great, but then find yourself binging… again.

  • When you lost weight, you were showered with praise - “You look incredible!” - and now you’re so terrified of gaining it back that your dieting is looking more and more like a disorder.

  • You’ve had food and body issues for as long as you can remember, but that’s been ok, because you can handle it. But now you’re a mom, and you’re panicked that you might pass those issues on to your sweet baby.

  • You throw away food to keep yourself from eating it… and you may or may not have fished it out of the trash.

  • At first it was just intermittent fasting, but then you started binging, and now it’s spiraled into making yourself throw up and you’re pretty freaked out.

  • Your brain is so busy with the constant mental calculus of calories or macros or pounds or measuring serving sizes that it’s hard to have space to think clearly about anything else.

  • In the rest of your life, you’re all about rebelling against the patriarchal BS that tells you how you should, so you get super frustrated with yourself for being stuck in the dark ages in this one area of your life

come home to your body

come home to your body 〰️

You’d never treat someone else’s body the way you treat yours!

You don’t have to love your body or like how it looks to learn how to become its faithful caregiver.

No matter what is swirling around you, in a world obsessed with and built for thinness, you can make sure that your body is safe with you. Even if other people mistreat or malign her, you don’t have to.
