Family Support for Eating Disorders
Supporting parents, partners, and loved ones navigating the pain, confusion, and complexity of caring for someone with an eating disorder.
You’re trying to help and it’s exhausting.
When someone you love is struggling with an eating disorder, it can feel overwhelming, confusing, and isolating.
You might be:
Constantly worrying about their health and safety
Walking on eggshells around food or conversations
Unsure what to say—or afraid of saying the wrong thing
Feeling helpless, frustrated, or even shut out
Trying to hold your relationship together while everything feels strained
You don’t have to carry this alone.
This is support for you, too
This work is not about giving you a script or a step-by-step plan.
Instead, this is a space for you to:
Process the emotions that come with loving someone with an eating disorder
Better understand what your loved one may be experiencing
Explore how to show up in ways that feel aligned and supportive
Strengthen your relationship, even in the midst of struggle
Set boundaries that are both loving and sustainable
Whether your loved one is in treatment, resistant to help, or somewhere in between—you still deserve support.
Who this is for:
This may be a good fit if you are:
A parent of a teen or young adult with an eating disorder
Supporting a college-aged child from near or far
A partner or spouse navigating the impact of an eating disorder
An adult child supporting a parent or sibling
A different kind of support:
I want to be clear—this isn’t about telling you what to do. This service is focused on supporting you as the loved one (it’s not family therapy or treatment planning for your child).
There is no one “right” way to support someone with an eating disorder.
This is about helping you:
Feel more grounded and less reactive
Build a relationship rooted in trust, not fear
Navigate hard moments with more clarity and self-trust
My perspective
In addition to my professional experience treating eating disorders, I also bring personal understanding to this work.
I know what it’s like to:
Struggle with an eating disorder
Love someone who is struggling with an eating disorder
Navigate treatment, fear, and uncertainty from multiple sides
That perspective allows me to hold space in a way that is both clinically informed and deeply human.
