Are you struggling with negative feelings about your body or a strained relationship with food? Have you ever received critical comments from family members or friends about your weight, shape, or size? Do you skip meals, avoid certain foods, or go on diet after diet in an effort to lose weight? Maybe you try on 10 different outfits before leaving the house, imagining how others will perceive you and never feeling good enough. You are not alone. I know how exhausting, isolating, and frustrating these experiences can be. All you want is to break free of the painful patterns and feel more confident and happy in your own skin.
I specialize in working with clients who are dealing with issues related to body image, disordered eating, and weight stigma. I use a warm, nonjudgmental approach that is based in the principles of body positivity and body liberation. I can help you build a better relationship with your body.
If you're interested in working together, reach out today for a free consultation. We can discuss what to expect and decide if it's a good fit. I look forward to connecting with you!
