Are you feeling stuck in a difficult relationship with food, your body, or yourself? Maybe you’re struggling with an eating disorder or body image concerns that affect your self-worth and how you show up in relationships? You might feel out of control, disconnected, numb, or at war with your body—especially under the pressure to look, move, or be a certain way? If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live without constant worries about whether you’re “enough,” I get it. I’ve been there too, and I want you to know: it doesn’t have to be this way. I believe it’s possible to reclaim your sense of well-being and inner strength.
As a trauma aware, relationally focused therapist, I offer individual and family therapy for youth, adults, and their loved ones navigating eating disorders, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. Together, we’ll explore the layers that shape your story to build self-awareness and emotional regulation for meaningful change.
I create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can begin to understand the survival strategies that once protected you, and gently move toward a life rooted in self-trust, authenticity, and connection. I invite you to book a no-cost 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. You don’t have to do this alone—let’s begin this journey together.

I view your relationship with weight, shape and size through the lens of your lived experiences. Together, we'll explore the deeper emotional, relational, spiritual, and neurobiological layers of your story. Our work will be centered on building self-awareness & emotional regulation for meaningful change. When deeper trauma work is needed, I'm equipped to support you with somatic-based approaches.
