If you struggle with emotional eating, it’s likely not about a lack of willpower or discipline. Many people learn early to use food as a way to self-soothe when comfort, emotional attunement, or safety were inconsistent or unavailable. Food can become a dependable source of relief—something that helps you get through stress, loneliness, or relational tension when support feels out of reach. Over time, eating may take on a relational role: offering comfort when you feel criticized, disconnected, overwhelmed, or emotionally alone. While this strategy once helped you cope, it may now leave you feeling stuck, frustrated with yourself, and disconnected from your body or your goals for health and well-being. You want peace around food, a sense of control that doesn’t rely on restriction, and the ability to meet your emotional needs without shame. I offer my clients a space to understand why emotional eating developed, what it has been providing for you, and how to create new ways of coping that feel supportive, sustainable, and aligned with the life you want. Therapy is an investment in your well-being. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s connect. Schedule a 15-min telephone consultation today.
