I believe people are resilient and at any time can need support with life challenges. I see clients with a range of experiences that may be impacting their relationships, ability to feel good about themselves and currently flourish in their lives. It is always my goal to create a safe environment for clients to work through issues past or present that keep them from achieving a full quality of life and in having the relationships they are seeking. I work collaboratively with clients on what is important to them, helping people achieve inner stability and move forward in their lives.

You don't have to earn the right to take up space, and the pain of being made to feel like you do is real. I'm an Art & Expressive Arts Therapist specializing in weight stigma and body trauma caused by diet culture. Diet culture demands we all look a particular way, and most of us don't fit that "thin" ideal. Daily microaggressions, dreaded doctor's appointments, diets that don't work, and a life put on hold until you're a smaller size. If you're done living under diet culture's thumb but don't know how to leave, you're in the right place

Are you struggling with body image issues, an eating disorder, or simply just want to lose or gain weight?
I understand that ADHD, anxiety, depression, and ODD can be triggered by nutrients we include, or do not include in our diets. I believe in taking a holistic approach to mental health, meaning that we can explore whatever you feel is most important to you, it doesn't have to be nutrition-related if you don't want it to be.

I get it! Being a human is hard, especially with added expectations of relationships, society, school/work & culture. You're tired of the overwhelming thoughts, endless to-do lists & the pressure to keep up. Maybe you struggle with focus, comparing yourself to others or feeling like you're never enough. You've tried avoiding those feelings of burnout, anxiety, guilt, shame & loneliness, but they keep showing up. You feel like you've lost yourself, you know something needs to change but you're unsure where to start. I'm Connie and I'd be honored to create a safe space to explore this with you.

What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.

What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.

What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.

What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.

How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
