You may feel stuck in a constant fight with food, your body, and the pressure to hold everything together. Maybe you eat for comfort, restrict to feel in control, or carry shame about never feeling “enough.” Many of the women I work with—especially Black women—carry the weight of perfectionism, cultural expectations, and beauty standards that were never made for them. You’re tired of self-criticism and just want peace, balance, and to finally feel at home in yourself.
With 12 years of clinical experience and 5 years in private practice, I help women—especially Black women—heal from eating disorders, emotional eating, and body image struggles. Drawing from DBT, CBT, IFS, and mindfulness, I provide a warm, collaborative space to explore what’s beneath the surface and build peace, balance, and self-acceptance from within.
I help women, especially women of color, heal from emotional eating, disordered eating, and body shame. My approach is compassionate and culturally sensitive, offering a space to feel seen and supported. Together, we’ll rebuild peace with food, body, and self—so you can feel whole and worthy again. Insurance accepted through Alma and other directories.
