Are you struggling with worry/anxiety or have a history of trauma that gets in the way? Do you want to heal your relationship with food and improve your body image? Have you tried to make changes in your life but feel stuck or unsure where to start? Through the process of counseling, I can help you develop more effective coping strategies, so you can explore how to make your life more satisfying and meaningful based on your own unique values, desires, and needs. I would love the opportunity to empower you to flourish and to experience more happiness in your life!
With 16 years specializing in treating eating disorders, disordered eating, anxiety, and trauma in adults, I'm here to help you develop resilience throughout your recovery process, to improve your body image, to strengthen your sense of self, and to better cope with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, grief, impacts of trauma, and painful emotions.
Beginning counseling can be scary, and it's courageous you're taking the first steps! For more info, check out my website. Feel free to email me with what you’d like to address, your preference for in-person and/or virtual counseling services, if you plan to use health insurance or self-pay, and the days/times you prefer. I look forward to speaking soon!
