Maybe it's food - you've been the "picky eater" your whole life, or you're raising one now and don't know where to turn or who to trust. Maybe it's your body, and that inner critic that never quits: replaying yesterday, insisting you're not doing enough, not good enough, not small enough. From the outside you might look fine. Underneath, you're exhausted - from picking yourself apart, from managing every meal, from just trying to hold it all together. In our work together, we'll get curious about where that voice came from (hint: it's not your fault), and find what actually feels workable - with food, with your body, with yourself.

Together, we'll look at where that critic shows up - in your body, around food, or in the exhaustion of parenting a picky eater - self-judgment, guilt, overthinking. We use IFS to explore what's underneath, and Brainspotting when talk alone doesn't reach it. Over time, more aligned with what you truly want and need - even if you don't know who that is yet.

You don't need the right words or a clear starting point - that's what we'll figure out together. If your self-esteem, body image, or food struggles (yours or your child's) have become background noise you've learned to live with, schedule a free consultation through my website or the contact button above. You deserve a space that can truly support you.

Therapy with me is warm, direct, and a little unconventional. We'll get curious about the parts of you that are exhausted, scared, or convinced you can't be trusted - instead of trying to silence them. Expect honest conversation, zero judgment, and a process that actually goes somewhere. No cookie-cutter treatment plans. Just real work, tailored to you.
