As a therapist, my goal is to collaborate with you to create an emotionally safe space where you can pursue personal healing and self-discovery. Through our work, we will identify how the experiences you have had in your life have impacted who you are in this world and how you relate to others. We will explore the emotional, mental, and systemic barriers that get in the way of evolving into the person you'd ideally like to be, while simultaneously developing a deep respect and reverence for the various versions of you over time that were forced to be resilient through difficult and challenging circumstances.

Struggling with the state of our nation? Exhausted and unsure how to move forward? You are not alone. It's time for radical liberation. No more do we let society label our worth. Nor allow jobs to suck the life from our spirit. Nor spiritual dogma to crush our sense of self. Nor do we allow the powerful to demonize us. It's important not to lose ourselves here. Real change happens from a place of self embodiment, not in frantic action. Finding safety, belonging, and authentic rest on our own can feel overwhelming. I would love to partner with you as you work toward centering self in the midst of this chaos.

Society can be overflowing with expectations, guilt, and shame…but it doesn’t have to. What would it be like if you understood and trusted that you are the expert on your life, your experiences, your relationships, your identity? What if you accepted your intrinsic value without toxic shame or isolation holding you back? Imagine a space where you are free from judgment and encouraged to explore your sexual, spiritual, and physical experience, to deconstruct toxic messages about your existence, and to find genuine fulfillment in your life.

You can feel something is off—but putting it into words feels impossible. For many, emotions come out as anxiety, shutdown, or overwhelm instead of something they can clearly explain.
When you don’t have the language to express what’s happening internally, it can impact relationships with family, friends, school, or work—leading to disconnection, loneliness, and feeling stuck.

How does body image affect mental health?
Poor body image can influence mental health because it can reduce self-esteem and decrease functioning in other areas of one's life. Negative body image may hinder someone's ability to perform daily tasks, including professional and social responsibilities, because they may feel self-conscious or shame surrounding their appearance; a desire to change one's body as a result of negative body image can also trigger behaviors such as extreme dieting, excessive exercise, or obsessive social media comparison. Poor body image is associated with a number of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, although many people experience negative body image even in the absence of meeting the diagnostic criteria for any mental health disorders.
What does it mean to have a positive body image?
Body image refers to how one internally perceives their appearance and internally "talks" to themself about their body. Positive body image is therefore indicative of a positive perception of one's self and positive internal self-talk that underscores one's strengths. People who have good body image often have higher self-esteem, self-worth, and self-confidence, and they also often recognize how external factors, such as social media or relationship patterns, can influence body image. While body image can change at different life stages and in response to various triggers, practicing self-acceptance and a body-positive mindset can help maintain a more stable sense of positive body image.
Is body image the same as self-esteem?
Body image and self-esteem are often related, but they are distinct concepts. Self-esteem is a broader term that can be shaped by a number of factors outside of body image, including one's functioning at school or in the workplace; it refers to one's capacity to handle various life challenges. Poor body image can be one way in which one's self-esteem is reduced. Reduced self-esteem as a result of poor body image can cause individuals to feel negative about their appearance, withdraw from social interactions, and/or rely on harmful behaviors as a coping mechanism. A "body positive" approach to body image therapy is therefore often used to encourage a more positive view of one's self and thus encourage better self-esteem.
What type of therapy is best to foster a positive body image?
The type of therapy best suited to improve body image depends on each person, as there is not a single therapy specific to body image improvement. That said, many individuals with poor body image benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based therapy. CBT can be used to help challenge distorted or negative thoughts about one's body, while ACT and mindfulness practices can facilitate a more positive body image through self-acceptance and identification of one's personal strengths. Regardless of treatment type, clients should look for body image therapists who encourage the development of a sense of self outside of their external appearance and help clients reduce unwanted behaviors developed as a result of poor self-esteem, such as dieting or disordered eating patterns.
