Are you tired of obsessing over food and weight? There are so many messages that make us feel like we need to control our body size, above all else. Trying to figure out how to be healthy and take care of yourself can feel like an exhausting, uphill battle. It's not your fault and you don’t have to go through it alone. Wherever you are in your treatment process - if you have an eating disorder or are concerned about your body, your weight or food - I can consult to help you decide your next step. Therapy isn't just for those with a diagnosable eating disorder. If your relationship with your food is distressing, you may need support.

As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, I treat eating disorders/disordered eating and weight/body image concerns. Within a Health At Every Size (HAES), intersectional feminist framework, I want to help you develop peace with your body and with food. My offices are designed with size-inclusivity in mind. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and poly/kink affirming.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time or looking for a new therapist, reaching out can be hard. I invite you to peruse my website to see if you think my practice might be a fit with your needs. My additional specialities include OCD, youth & family therapy, chronic illness, Type 1 Diabetes & supervision. I look forward to seeing if I can help.

I am a behaviorally trained therapist and tend to bring an integrative approach to my work. I love helping people get to the root of their struggles and find patterns. I know it's not about the food. But sometimes it really feels like it is about the food. I start off with a thorough assessment and then work on getting to know you and your patterns, so I can personally tailor my approach to you.

I say it a lot, but my Health at Every Size (HAES), intersectional feminist framework is the backdrop for any interventions. I like to call myself a behaviorally trained integrationist. I am not the person who is going to just listen. I think the root of most struggles is our relationship with our emotions and I like to really hone in on addressing that.
