Lisa’s Philosophy
People struggling with disordered eating tend to blame themselves for issues that are actually rooted in biology—not personal failure. But while such struggles may not be their fault, it is up to them to transcend them. With that in mind, I guide my clients toward a more empowered relationship with food by addressing the emotional, psychological, and physical factors that shape eating behaviors. Rejecting diet culture and restrictive dieting, I guide them toward self-compassion, mindfulness, and flexible thinking to create lasting change. The bottom line: Our relationship with food mirrors our relationship with ourselves—heal one, and the other will follow.
