About

You want to appear like you have it all together, but deep down you are struggling with your body image & overwhelmed with anxiety. Maybe you’re tired of stressing out over the foods you eat, picking yourself apart every chance you get, or feeling like you’re always worrying. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to make peace with food. You’re ready to feel a sense of calmness. Most of all, you’re ready to make peace with your body & yourself. You’re ready to live your life with confidence & purpose, & I can help you get there!
Clients come to me needing someone who just “gets” it and who can help get to the root of their problems because therapy should be a place where you feel safe & understood. Sessions with me are collaborative - we have the mutual goal of finding solutions to your challenges. We will always go at your pace, never pushing to a place you don’t feel ready to be.
As an experienced body image & anxiety therapist, I believe that you can feel confident in your body & successfully cope with any worries that arise. You don’t have to continue feeling unhappy with your body image & out of control with your anxiety, & you don’t have to do it alone. Contact me for a free 15-minute consult. I look forward to talking with you.
