I specialize in helping my clients develop a peaceful relationship to their bodies, find freedom from the food and body police, and learn to care for themselves without shame and anxiety. My passion is helping people recover from compulsive eating, emotional eating, binge eating, body shame, and experiences of sizeism/fatphobia.
I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and I use a weight neutral, Health At Every Size approach. What makes working on these things in therapy different from (although often complementary to) coaching or nutrition counseling is the depth and breadth of exploration that we will do into our sessions, using your relationship to food and your body as a starting point.
My clients often find that this work is never just about food or body image. This work is fundamentally about self-trust, self-worth, autonomy, embodiment, pleasure, and joy.
