My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a powerful, evidence-based model that helps you understand and heal the different parts of yourself that influence your relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. Through IFS, we’ll work together to unburden the emotional pain, self-judgment, and past experiences holding you back. Navigating challenges related to health, body image, and self-acceptance can feel overwhelming. As a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience, I provide a safe and judgment-free space to explore the emotional, behavioral & psych aspects of these struggles.
Whether you’re working through emotional eating, body image distress, or adjusting to significant health changes, I offer support tailored to your unique needs. If you’re considering surgery as part of your health journey, I also provide evaluations and supportive counseling to help you navigate the process and am accepting NEW Clients :)
If you are ready to schedule, you can select an appointment time for a consult that works for you at my website listed above.
I look forward to supporting you!
