I am glad that you made it here today! If you struggle with food and body image, you have come to the right place. Maybe you think about food all the time, or yo-yo diet, or maybe you find yourself restricting what you eat without knowing why, or how to stop. Food and eating are a part of our culture that often become warped and distorted. Whether you have internalized messages that state that you have to be a certain size to have value, or you feel like food allows you to numb out, constant thoughts about food and body image can be exhausting.

My goal is to provide an open, warm, and calming environment where you are free to discuss any issue that is affecting your life. I am committed to working together to make a plan to ease your distress, improve your insight, and create a path forward for you.
