Eating Disorder & Disordered Eating Therapy in Olympia, WA
Support for a steadier relationship with food, your body, and yourself.
When eating feels overwhelming, confusing, or out of control, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface and begin building a relationship with food and your body that feels calmer, kinder, and more aligned with the life you want.
If you’re reading this, something hasn’t felt right for a while.
Maybe food feels like a battle. Maybe your body feels like the enemy. Maybe you’re tired of trying to hold everything together while quietly falling apart inside. Most people who find their way here are exhausted, from perfectionism, from pressure, from comparison, from carrying emotions that feel too big or too heavy.
You are not alone in this. And you don’t have to keep doing it all by yourself.
My role is to offer a space that is warm, honest, and grounding. A space where you can finally exhale and feel understood.
What You May Be Experiencing
You might be:
Restricting, binging, purging, or feeling out of control with food
Constantly thinking about “good” vs “bad” foods
Feeling like your body determines your worth
Comparing yourself endlessly to others
Feeling guilty after eating
Exercising compulsively or tracking numbers you wish you could stop tracking
Feeling ashamed, secretive, or scared someone will discover what’s going on
Feeling like your relationship with food is running your life
If even one of these resonates, you deserve support that feels compassionate, human, and deeply attuned to you.
You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to ask for help. If something feels hard, that’s reason enough to reach out.
You deserve care simply because you’re struggling — and you’re worthy of feeling more at ease in your own body.
Imagine what it could feel like to:
Wake up without food anxiety running the show
Feel more peace inside your body
Eat without spiraling into shame
Stop fighting yourself
Feel grounded instead of overwhelmed
Actually enjoy your life again
Recovery is not about perfection. It’s about building trust, steadiness, and connection — one doable step at a time.
My Holistic, Nervous System, Nutrition-Informed Approach to Eating Disorder & Disordered Eating Therapy
Eating disorder therapy with me is warm, relational, and grounded — not clinical or detached. I blend my training as a Marriage and Family Therapist with my background in functional nutritional therapy, which allows us to explore both your emotional world and the patterns in your nervous system that influence how you experience food, stress, and your body.
Therapy with me is:
Compassionate and non-judgmental
You’ll never be shamed for how you cope or how long you’ve struggled.
Holistic and trauma-informed
We explore emotions, learned patterns, body cues, nourishment rhythms, nervous system activation — all the pieces that shape your relationship with food.
Practical
You’ll receive supportive tools you can actually use in your daily life.
Relational
We move at your pace, with honesty, warmth, and respect for your lived experience.
You don't need to know what “category” you fall into to get help.
But here’s a simple way to understand the difference:
Eating Disorders
Conditions like anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID often involve medical risk and deeply entrenched patterns. Therapy is an important part of care, often alongside other providers.
Disordered Eating
Patterns like chronic dieting, emotional eating, obsessive calorie counting, or rigid food rules. These may not fit a formal diagnosis but still impact your wellbeing — and absolutely deserve support.
Wherever you land, you deserve care. You deserve relief.
Eating Disorders vs. Disordered Eating Understanding the Difference
How Eating Disorder Therapy Works
Eating disorder therapy consists of 50-minute, one-on-one sessions that help you work through your concerns. In addition to listening, I will share thoughts when it's helpful and provide guidance based on my experience. I play an active role. Here’s how it will work step-by-step
1. We start with connection.
You share your story at your pace, and we get clear on what’s been feeling the hardest.
2. We create immediate support.
Tools for emotional overwhelm, spiraling thoughts, body distress, and day-to-day triggers.
3. We explore deeper patterns.
How perfectionism, stress, nourishment rhythms, family dynamics, and your nervous system all interact.
4. We build sustainable tools.
Not rules. Not restriction. Just grounded practices that support emotional steadiness and body trust.
5. You grow into a new relationship with food and yourself.
Over time, things soften. You feel more connected. You feel more free.
Your journey is yours — I’m simply the guide walking beside you.
Who this work is for:
I offer eating disorder and disordered eating therapy in Olympia and throughout Washington State (via virtual sessions).
This work is a good fit if you:
Feel overwhelmed by food, eating, or body image
Struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, or self-criticism
Feel disconnected from your hunger cues or body signals

Are ready for a space where you don’t have to pretend you’re fine anymore
You don’t have to arrive confident or ready, just willing.
If You’re Wondering About Pricing, Insurance, or How This All Works
You’re not the first to ask. Many people arrive with questions like:
“Do you take insurance?”
“How much does therapy cost?”
“How do sessions work?”
“What should I expect?”
I created one place where you can get clear, simple answers to all of those questions.
You Deserve a Kinder, More Peaceful Relationship With Food and Your Body
Reaching out for help is a brave and meaningful step — especially when shame or fear has kept you silent for so long.
You deserve a relationship with food and your body that feels compassionate, steady, and grounded. You deserve support that sees your humanity, not just your symptoms.
