You’ve tried “just eating normally.” You’ve tried being kinder to your body. You’ve promised yourself you won’t spiral again… yet here you are. If you feel exhausted by food noise, anxious around your body, overwhelmed by postpartum changes, or stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break — you’re in the right place. You’re not “too much.” You’re not failing. You’re tired. And you deserve real support. I specialize in eating disorders, disordered eating, body image, postpartum, trauma, and bariatric surgery support.
Most of my clients come to me feeling one (or more) of these: “I think about food all day.” “I feel like I’ve tried everything.” “I hate my body but I don’t know how to stop.” “Postpartum has changed me in ways I didn't expect"
If you’re reading this, it means you’re looking for something to change. Let’s make that change feel doable. Book your free 15-minute consultation (It’s okay if you’re nervous. You don’t have to feel “ready” — you just have to start.)

Therapy with me feels like talking to someone who truly gets it. We'll use proven approaches like psychodynamic and interpersonal therapy to help you quiet the mental noise, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and feel more at home in your body. Some sessions might feel like a deep exhale, others like a gentle push forward—but always in a space that's safe, supportive, judgment-free.
