Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of hating your body and then feeling guilty about it? What if you could be comfortable in the body you’re in right now? Maybe that critical inner voice is louder than ever and getting in the way of you living your life. Working together, we can turn down the volume on your self-criticism.

Therapy with me could help you think less about food, weight, and body appearance. Many of my clients have been able to feel more comfortable in their bodies and struggle less with emotional eating. If you're a parent, you may notice your kids picking up negative messages about their bodies. But you deserve support too, and things can get better!

With nearly a decade of experience, my therapy style is approachable, nonjudgmental, and compassionate. We can meet in-person in my Bethesda office or online, and I have appointments available now. Reach out by email or phone if you are ready to start feeling more comfortable in your body.

I'm an out-of-network provider, and I can provide you with a receipt for our sessions.

Many of my clients appreciate "parts work" (IFS), an approach which encourages acceptance of all of our "parts" without shame. What is a "part?" For instance, maybe a part of you wants to end a cycle of dieting while another part of you believes you'll only feel better about yourself when you hit a certain weight. All of your parts are welcome in therapy with me because they all serve a purpose.
