Recovery Coaching
Receive the additional support you need to break free from stubborn patterns of behavior and rigid thoughts about food and your body. Recovery coaching serves as a valuable short-term supplement to psychotherapy, or it can assist loved ones of someone in recovery. With recovery coaching, you'll have me by your side as your experienced guide, navigating the challenging path of eating disorder recovery.
Goal-Oriented Coaching
My coaching is direct and solutions-focused, designed to help you achieve your recovery goals with clarity and actionable steps. With 3 years of clinical experience treating eating disorders and my own journey of recovery, I provide personalized advice on navigating body changes, challenging food rules, breaking binge-restrict cycles, and transitioning from obsessive exercise to mindful movement and self-care. Together, we’ll tackle the toughest parts of recovery with strategies tailored to your needs.
Skill Building and Emotional Resilience
Our eating disorder behaviors often serve as attempts to cope with life’s challenges. When emotions feel overwhelming or our environments seem unmanageable, the eating disorder can feel like the only way to navigate these difficulties. In our coaching sessions, we’ll work together to understand the function of your eating disorder and replace it with healthier, more effective coping strategies. Using tools from DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and self-compassion, I’ll help you develop reliable skills to manage emotions and navigate challenges, supporting you as you work to let go of eating disorder behaviors and build a more fulfilling, sustainable life.
Psychoeducation
A crucial part of recovering from an eating disorder is understanding and challenging the societal norms and narratives that shape our judgments about food and bodies. In our sessions, I provide tailored recommendations for resources that explore the social underpinnings of body image struggles and fears around eating. These materials are not only helpful for those in recovery but also for loved ones who want to better understand eating disorders and learn how to provide meaningful support. Together, we can work to deepen your understanding of these issues and build a foundation for lasting recovery. Check out this blog post to view commonly recommended resources.
Collaboration and Comprehensive Care
Recovery thrives with a strong support system. Based on your unique concerns, I recommend creating a full eating disorder treatment team, including a nutritionist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist, and primary care provider. I’ll support you in evaluating the resources available and assist in building your team. This collaborative structure ensures you have the comprehensive care needed to navigate recovery with confidence.
