Eating Disorders
Complicated relationships with food don’t come out of nowhere—they are shaped by the systems and stories we grow up inside of. Systemic white supremacy and colonization have long dictated what bodies are deemed “acceptable,” and those messages are reinforced in media, healthcare, and everyday interactions. Families can also pass down beliefs about food, weight, and worth that were shaped by their own experiences of oppression, scarcity, or trauma. All of this can create painful disconnection from ourselves and our bodies.
These forces often lead to guilt, shame, and rigid expectations that overshadow our ability to live in alignment with our true selves. I am committed to walking this path with you—exploring how behaviors like restricting, bingeing, or purging developed as coping strategies in response to harm, pressure, or survival needs. Together, we’ll work toward dismantling these internalized systems and cultivating a more compassionate, liberated, and nourishing relationship with food and with yourself.
