About

Is it really a problem if I am still getting to work, still smiling, still doing everything I am supposed to do? That quiet question keeps more people stuck than almost anything else. An eating disorder can hide comfortably behind competence for years, which is exactly why so many people wait. I work with high-functioning adults to name what is actually happening and to unhook eating from worth, control, and punishment. I arrived at this profession by an unusual route, having spent my first working life in an entirely different field, which is part of why I am unimpressed by how normal a serious struggle can look on the surface. I am calm, grounded, and not easily thrown by anything you bring. We move at a pace you can stand, and I stay honest with you the whole way. If the question at the top of this page is one you keep asking yourself, get in touch.
