A. Nope, you don’t need to be officially diagnosed. I may be able to diagnose you, but the more important thing is helping you change your disordered eating behaviors.

A. Most likely on Zoom, unless you live nearby and are comfortable getting together in person.

A. Once or twice a week is typically best. The sessions will be either 30 minutes or 60 minutes. It’s best that the first four appointments be 60 minutes so we can do some serious talking. After that, it’s your choice!

A. There are four main parts, but they all overlap to some extent. 1. I will ask you a ton of questions about your childhood and your relationships with your family to help try to get to the root of how your eating disorder started. 2. We will work to examine and then separate your emotions from food 3. Together we’ll look at forms of self-care, including boundaries, and you can incorporate those ways into your life 4. Finally, I’ll help you re-learn how to listen to your body to be more intuitive.

A. I’m going to do everything in my power to make recovery happen. I have no doubt that you can recover.

A. The magic question! Everyone is different, but on average, 6-12 months. That includes a weaning period where we only see each other once or twice a month.

A. First, you need to be committed to recovery. As far as meeting, I offer both packages and one-off sessions. If you book a package, you pay up front, which gives you accountability to help you stay on course. In addition, if you book a package you can email or voice message me in between sessions. If you choose a one-off session, I will invoice you afterwards.

A. Great question! Some experts say - yes, and some experts say - no. I’m a firm believer in full recovery. I think that if we work enough on discovering your trauma(s) from the past, and work through them, along with teaching you healthier coping skills and adding self-care, full recovery is definitely possible. And by full recovery I mean no eating disordered thoughts or behaviors.

A. There will be “assignments” I will give you at the end of one session to help carry you to the next. I promise that the assignments are not hard, and in fact, I think you will find them pretty helpful.
