An experience in which reality is distorted, bent, to reflect something that is not there; that which does not exist.
This can parallel your experience with your body image, the eating disorder voice, your eating disorder’s false promises, and it is always subjectively experienced.
There is a knowing that is held within attuned eating disorder therapy that allows for intentional connection. This is the foundation of a hopeful therapeutic relationship.

Family Based Therapy (FBT)'s strength is family participation in therapy, which allows healing toward the client’s recovery, including individual work and holistic developmental goals.
FBT is evidenced based and currently the first line treatment for adolescents who are diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa or OSFED (Atypical Anorexia Nervosa).
“Enhanced” cognitive behavioral therapy for eating disorders, or CBT-E, is empirically supported treatment for adults. The focus of treatment is primarily surrounding the mechanisms that maintain the disorder in present time, opposed to what started the disorder. This involves exploring the desire for control, negative self-judgments and critical self-
evaluations, social isolation, and minimizing other areas of their life.
Join me and learn to surf the waves! As a DBT therapist, I believe in the usefulness of the skills the Dialectical Behavior Therapy model practices. DBT skills offer clients who struggle with Bulimia Nervosa or Binge Eating Disorder effective tools to help identify, change, and tolerate emotions. In practicing Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance, clients have skills to tolerate the urges that lead to binges or purging.
