You may feel exhausted by the constant thoughts about food, body image, control, or self-worth. Maybe your eating disorder began as a way to cope, stay safe, feel in control, or manage overwhelming emotions...but now it feels like it’s taken over your life. What people see on the outside may not match the disconnection, anxiety, and shame you feel on the inside. Many of the clients I work with have spent years criticizing themselves, minimizing their pain, or feeling disconnected from their bodies and emotions.
I specialize in working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, trauma, and difficult life experiences. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I believe healing requires both self-compassion and accountability. Together, we will reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels fuller than survival mode.
Recovery is not about perfection. It is about learning to feel safe enough to be fully present in your own life again. You do not have to navigate that process alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you. Please don't hesitate to call or send an email to get started.

I work with clients who have found ways to survive their circumstances by turning towards food, addictive behaviors, and other strategies that are no longer serving them, and feel ready to explore what change could look like. During our initial sessions, we will dream together about what life could look like without these behaviors. My clients walk away with new tools and healthy perspectives.

I often use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll work together to figure out where you want to be, and what is standing in the way. From there we'll set attainable goals to begin moving towards the life you want to live. During our work together, we'll explore the "why" in a nonjudgmental way to build a new relationship with yourself.
