Healing Your Relationship with Food: Eating Disorder Therapy in West Los Angeles & Online

Redefining Self-Worth Beyond Food and Body Image

Struggling with food and body image can feel overwhelming—like a constant battle between self-control and self-criticism. Maybe you’ve spent years trying different diets, feeling guilt after eating, or obsessing over your body. Perhaps food feels like both a source of comfort and a source of shame.

You don’t have to face this alone. As a licensed therapist specializing in eating disorders, I help adolescents and adults in West Los Angeles and across California break free from harmful cycles and develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with food and themselves.

Signs of Disordered Eating

Eating disorders don’t always fit the stereotypes. You don’t have to be underweight or on a strict diet for food and body image to negatively impact your life. Therapy can help if you experience:

  • Frequent thoughts about food, calories, or body size

  • Guilt, shame, or anxiety after eating

  • Restricting or binge eating

  • Using exercise or purging to “make up” for eating

  • Feeling like your self-worth is tied to your appearance

Whether you have a diagnosed eating disorder or struggle with disordered eating patterns, therapy can help you rebuild trust with your body..

How Therapy Can Help

Healing isn’t just about food—it’s about understanding the emotional patterns behind your eating habits. Many people develop disordered eating as a way to cope with stress, trauma, or societal pressure.

In therapy, we’ll work together to:

  • Challenge harmful thoughts around food and self-worth

  • Develop a more compassionate inner voice

  • Break free from diet culture and weight stigma

  • Learn to trust your body’s natural cues

I use parts work, mindfulness, and self-compassion to support your recovery at your own pace.
