More than worrying about weight........

The term eating disorder encompasses
 a wide range of  conditions:

* Overeating
* Bingeing
* Chronic dieting
* Obesity
* Anorexia
* Bulimia
* Exercise bulimia

These conditions all share the common characteristic of a person having an unhealthy, preoccupied relationship with food where they are consumed by thoughts of how much they have eaten and/ or how little they should eat.  

People with eating problems and weight issues often use food to compensate for emotions and feelings that can seem overwhelming.

Dr. Allen can help you:

* Identify emotional triggers
* Improve self-esteem
* Develop a more positive
 body image
* Adopt a healthy eating and
 lifestyle plan

Whether you have always battled with these issues or they are a legacy of an eating disorder in your teens that resurfaces in times of stress,
I help you understand how your own emotional and situational factors contribute to how you are eating now.

Together we can change your relationship with food
so it can become a source of pleasure rather than
a source of conflict.
