In your first session, we’ll start by completing an intake to gather important background information about your eating habits, emotions, and any underlying issues. This helps set the foundation for our work together. After the intake, we’ll discuss your eating habits and emotions in more detail. I will work with you to create personalized strategies to manage emotional eating. Sessions are a safe space to explore your feelings and behaviors without judgment.

The length of time you’ll need to be in therapy depends on your personal goals and needs. Some people see progress in a few months, while others might benefit from longer-term support. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust our plan as needed. It’s a team effort, and we’ll figure out the best timeline for you together.
