A binge eating and emotional eating therapist dedicated to helping you achieve a balanced relationship with food and yourself.
I know how hard it is to live a full and satisfying life, when nothing you do ever seems to be enough. Through my personal journey and the journey that so many others have taken before you, I can guide you to feel free of food related thoughts, so you can achieve a better relationship with food and with yourself.
I have created an 8-week psychoeducational course, through which I try to explain to you how binge eating or emotional eating are created and what makes them feel like an addiction you can’t control. During our short-term work together, I will guide you and help you understand the deeper reasons for your eating behavior, a behavior that might have once served you but is no longer the best choice for you. I will help you find the tools that will create different thought processes that are closer to who you are now and what you need in order to grow to the best possible version of yourself.

This 8-week course was created for people with difficulties around emotional eating or binge eating who are looking for some food freedom. Each week will talk about a different topic related to your problem. It’s psychoeducational, which means that part of the session will be dedicated to understanding the problem better and part of it to exploring different tools and doing different exercises that might help you cope with the problem.
It will help you deepen your knowledge of the problem and, at the same time, work on specific techniques that will improve your relationship with food.
Everyone eats emotionally from time to time. Food provides comfort, satisfaction, and soothes difficult emotions. The problem arises when food is our only way of coping with emotional difficulties, or when we put too much stress on our appearance, and we forget to actually live and enjoy the things we used to. If these sound familiar to you, maybe it’s time to take action.
Even though this program was created based on my experience as a therapist, it’s different from therapy in many ways. There are different types of therapeutic approaches, but most of them are not time-limited. In therapy, you might explore the root of the problem, the coping mechanisms that you are using, or the cognitive bias you might have. You might explore how you cope with emotions or past events and how they affected you. On the contrary, this 8 week course is time limited, specific to binge eating or emotional eating, it includes specific information that I will be sharing with you and exercises or other activities (like watching a movie or a documentary) that are very specific to your problem, and then discussing it with me. This course is a very good first step if you are not sure if therapy is the right path for you or if you are looking for something very targeted.
Each one of our sessions will be 30 minutes. During the first session, we will talk and explore the problem, we will set some goals and based on your responses to my questionnaire, we will proceed to something more targeted based on your specific needs.
