break the cycle.
Virtual bulimia therapy in Florida.
SOUND LIKE YOU?
On the outside, you look like you’re holding everything together—managing school, work, relationships, or motherhood. But inside, you’re stuck in a painful loop of food rules, bingeing, purging, and shame.
You might look fine to everyone else. Inside, you’re exhausted.
You might binge when no one’s watching, then purge, restrict, or over-exercise to try to “make up for it.” You might feel in control one day and completely overwhelmed the next. And all the while, you’re carrying the pressure to be perfect.
If this resonates with you…
You’re not alone
And you don’t have to keep living in this cycle.
Therapy can be the space where you begin to exhale.
Bulimia isn’t about “lack of discipline” or “just eating too much"”
It’s about using food—binging, purging, obsessing—to cope with feelings that feel overwhelming or out of control. It’s the cycle of restricting, then losing control, then punishing yourself.
Bulimia is exhausting. But it’s not your fault. And it can get better.
Common Bulimia Experiences
Bulimia shows up differently for everyone.
What bulimia might look like for you…
05
Triggers and transitions:
Perfectionism, academic or work stress, pregnancy, postpartum, or life changes that heighten the cycle.
02
Secretive eating behaviors:
Hiding or disguising your struggles from those closest to you.
01
The binge/purge cycle:
Periods of overeating followed by purging, restricting, or over-exercising.
04
Intense guilt and shame:
Turning to bingeing or purging to manage stress, anxiety, or pain. Followed by self-criticism and despair after eating.
03
Obsessive food and body thoughts:
Feeling consumed by rules, numbers, or appearance.
If any of this feels familiar—you’re not alone. And you’re not beyond help.
You don’t need to hit rock bottom to deserve help.
If your relationship with food or your body is causing stress, secrecy, or shame—it matters. Therapy isn’t about forcing you to change.
Virtual bulimia therapy will help you understand what’s underneath the binge/purge cycle—what it’s protecting you from, what it’s helping you manage, and how you can build safer ways to cope.

I work with young women in Florida who appear “put together” but feel overwhelmed on the inside. You may be:
In college, trying to manage grades, friendships, and body image all at once
Starting a career where looking polished feels like part of your job
Pregnant or postpartum, struggling with how your body is changing
A new mom hiding your behaviors out of shame, guilt, or fear
The responsible one in your family or friend group—yet secretly feeling out of control around food
If you’re navigating all of this silently while pretending you’re fine, therapy can give you a safe place to breathe, process, and begin healing.
I work with young women who are medically stable and appropriate for outpatient therapy. If a higher level of care (such as residential or intensive outpatient treatment) becomes necessary, I’ll support you in that transition with compassion and zero shame.
-
Yes. Bulimia is complex but treatable. Therapy can help you:
Break free from the binge/purge cycle
Understand the emotional triggers and perfectionism beneath your behaviors
Develop healthier coping skills that don’t rely on food or punishment
Rebuild a kinder, safer relationship with your body and yourself
-
We’ll work on more than changing eating patterns. Our focus is on:
Exploring the shame, self-criticism, and pressure to perform that fuel the cycle
Building tools to regulate emotions and manage stress without turning to food or purging
Learning to trust yourself and respond to your body with compassion, not punishment
Creating stability and balance that lasts—through college, career, pregnancy, postpartum, or whatever season you’re in
Therapy is collaborative. Some sessions may focus on food or recent triggers. Others may go deeper—into family dynamics, relationships, identity, or long-held beliefs about self-worth. Everything is welcome here.
My Approach to Virtual Bulimia Therapy for Women in Florida
You don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle. Recovery is possible.
I’m not the kind of therapist who tells you to “just eat normally” or treats bulimia as a simple behavior problem. That’s not helpful—and it doesn’t get to the heart of what you’re going through. I meet you exactly where you are, emotionally and mentally.
Some weeks, that might mean slowing down and simply helping you process the shame or exhaustion you’ve been carrying. Other times, if you’re ready to make changes, I’ll be right beside you—offering challenge, accountability, and encouragement to help you break free from the binge/purge cycle.
I understand how painful it can be to ask for help when you’re used to being the one who looks like they have it all together. And I know how perfectionism, pressure, and impossible body standards can fuel the cycle—and keep you feeling stuck.
This work honors your intelligence, your sensitivity, your drive—and helps you reclaim your life without needing to punish yourself to get there.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy. Your eating disorder isn’t identical to anyone else’s, and your recovery won’t be either. I look at the whole picture: what’s keeping you stuck, what your nervous system needs, what pressures you’re facing—and then I adapt how I work to fit you.
Some sessions we may talk about recent binges, urges, or practical recovery tools. Other times, we’ll explore what’s underneath—family dynamics, relationships, stress, identity, or long-held beliefs about your worth.
Therapy is where you don’t have to perform, hide, or prove yourself. It’s a space where all parts of you are welcome.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy. This is deeply personalized work.
an integrative, relational approach to bulimia therapy:
-
I use a relational, integrative approach that blends psychodynamic therapy with practical tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic work. This isn’t about “fixing behaviors”—it’s about understanding what drives the binge/purge cycle and healing the emotional wounds beneath it.
-
As a HAES-aligned eating disorder therapist, I reject weight stigma and focus on healing your relationship with food, body, and self—not changing your size. My work is rooted in body respect, intuitive eating principles, and compassionate care that honors your unique lived experience, no matter your weight or diagnosis.
-
Recovery isn’t linear. Some sessions we may talk directly about food—what triggered a binge, the guilt that followed, or the urge to purge. Other times, we’ll go deeper—into family dynamics, relationships, perfectionism, or the pressures that make food feel like the only outlet.
Therapy is flexible and responsive to your reality, whether you’re balancing late-night study sessions, tight work deadlines, pregnancy, or postpartum shifts. Together, we’ll adapt sessions to your energy, your needs, and your goals. This isn’t one-size-fits-all recovery. It’s yours.
If it’s helpful, and you’re open to it, we can include support people in your life—like a partner, family member, OB-GYN, physician, psychiatrist, or dietitian. Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. I’ll collaborate with care providers so you feel supported, not scrutinized.
-
Over time, therapy can help you:
Break free from the binge/purge cycle
Regulate difficult emotions without turning to food or punishment
Rebuild trust in your body and eat in ways that feel nourishing, not shame-driven
Release self-criticism and perfectionism
Speak to yourself with more compassion
Create a sense of identity that isn’t tied only to appearance or achievement
You don’t have to earn your healing. You’re allowed to want more for yourself.
Therapy is your space. No pressure to be perfect. No need to hide. Everything is welcome here.
As therapy unfolds, you’ll begin to feel calmer, less trapped by food rules, and more connected to yourself. You’ll find that the shame and secrecy loosen their grip, and you’ll start to feel more like you again—not the version of you trying to perform all the time.
