Disordered Eating Therapy in Louisiana + Florida

Your relationship with food doesn’t have to feel like a daily battle. You don’t have to spend every day thinking about food, weight, or your body.

Therapy can help you understand the purpose and function of your eating patterns, shift the beliefs that keep you stuck, and build a more peaceful connection with food and your body.

Therapy for Disordered Eating: When Food Feels Like the Enemy

Food is supposed to nourish you. But when eating becomes tied to guilt, shame, or control, it can feel impossible to enjoy food without stress. 

Maybe you have strict food rules, avoid certain foods, or feel the need to compensate for eating. Maybe you struggle with emotional eating or find yourself thinking about food more than you’d like.

You don’t have to stay trapped in this cycle.

Some signs you may be struggling with disordered eating:

  • You think about food, your weight, or your body shape more than you want to.

  • Your self-worth feels tied to your weight or size.

  • You feel guilt or shame after eating or feeling full.

  • Your mood changes based on how you ate that day.

  • Fears about weight gain impact your daily thoughts and choices.

  • Social events involving food make you anxious, or you avoid them altogether.

  • You skip meals, over-exercise, or use other behaviors to “make up” for eating.

Disordered eating therapy can help you:

  • Feel less shame around food, eating, and weight.

  • Break free from food rules and cycles that don’t serve you.

  • Develop a relationship with food and your body that aligns with your values, not fear.

  • Focus less on food and weight, and more on what truly matters to you.

I take a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach, meaning I won’t focus on your weight as a measure of health. 


Instead, we’ll explore your thoughts and behaviors around food, work on emotional regulation, and create lasting, value-aligned changes.

Body Image: Learning to Accept Yourself as You Are

How you see your body shapes how you show up in the world. If negative thoughts about your appearance hold you back from fully living your life, it doesn’t have to stay that way.

If you,

  • Have thoughts about your body that overwhelm your day-to-day life

  • Constantly criticize your appearance

  • Feel shame or disgust when thinking about your body

  • Avoid experiences you wanted to have because of how you felt about your body

Then, you might be struggling with body image issues. 

You deserve to feel comfortable and at home in your own skin. 

Through therapy, we can work together to…

  • Shift the negative beliefs about your body.

  • Build more self-compassion and natural confidence.

  • Stop letting body image concerns hold you back from life.

These changes will help you show up authentically – without having to censor yourself or rely on behaviors that ultimately tear you apart.

What Therapy For Body Image Struggles Looks Like

I promise I won’t just tell you to “just love your body” or ignore your struggles. It's not always realistic to feel completely positive about our bodies all the time.

Instead, we’ll work together to:

  • Identify the deeper reasons behind body image dissatisfaction.

  • Normalize emotions around existing in a body that changes.

  • Challenge unhelpful body image beliefs.

  • Find new coping strategies that align with your values.

  • Increase your ability to tolerate discomfort and adapt in healthier ways.

Could you imagine yourself saying something like…  “I have more energy to focus on what matters. I can live my life without constantly thinking about food and my body”? 

That kind of freedom is possible for you, too.
