Rancho Bernardo and North County San Diego

Eating disorder therapy in San Diego

You didn't come this far just to keep fighting yourself.

At this point it is not really about the food anymore. It is about how much of your day it takes, how long you have been managing it on your own, and how tired you are of starting over. I work with adults who are done doing this quietly.

If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place

How the work actually goes

  1. 1

    We get your body supported first.

    Nothing else we do will hold while you are running on empty. This comes before insight, every time.

  2. 2

    We find out what the eating disorder is doing for you.

    Real healing happens when we understand its function. That is a very different project from trying harder.

  3. 3

    We build some room between you and it.

    The goal is not that the thought never comes. The goal is that when it comes, you get a choice.

  4. 4

    We rebuild your relationship with food and with your body.

    At a pace that is survivable, in a way that holds up on a bad week. Perfection is never, ever the goal.

Questions people ask before they call

I am not sure I am sick enough for this.

Almost everyone I meet says some version of that, including people who are very unwell. There is no threshold you have to cross to deserve support. If it is taking up your life, it counts.

What if I have already tried treatment?

A lot of my clients have. Higher levels of care are built to stabilize you, and they are good at that. The part that usually gets skipped is what happens when you go back to your kitchen, your job and your family. That is the part we work on.

Do you work with binge eating specifically?

Yes. Binge eating, restriction, the cycle between the two, and the shame that sits underneath all of it.
