Have you ever felt alone, stuck, or overwhelmed trying to figure out who you are? Do you feel trapped in a struggle with food and your appearance? Have you tried to break free only to find yourself back in a battle with your own thoughts?

This way of living is exhausting and can cause destruction in many areas of life. What if freedom from that life was possible? As a therapist specializing in eating disorders, I believe it is possible to find relief from your struggle.

Anxiety hurts. Whether it wakes you up in the morning and lingers all day or hits you like gang busters when you least expect it.
