I specialize in Eating Disorders, OCD & Perinatal Mental Health. My passion for this comes from my own journey to recovery and experience becoming a mom. Are you struggling with your relationship with food or accepting your body as it is? Do you feel trapped by intrusive thoughts & anxiety that feels like it has control over your life? Or are you pregnant, postpartum, or in another stage of motherhood and overwhelmed by anxiety or sadness that is keeping you from being present and enjoying life? I understand the desire for change but the fear & challenge of letting go. But you don't have to do it alone! You came to the right place.
I am a CBT therapist and am trained in I-CBT & ERP which are leading evidence based treatments for eating disorders and OCD. I operate through a harm reduction lens where the goal can be finding safer behaviors if extinction doesn't feel realistic yet. I am a HAES, non-diet provider because I believe all bodies deserve care in the pursuit of health.
I truly understand how scary it is to make changes when you don't know what those changes will lead to, but know it will be uncomfortable regardless. Although there is a lot of unknown in treatment and recovery, what you should always be able to count on is a provider you trust to walk through it with you!
