Do you struggle with constant thoughts about food or your body, or feel worn down by judgement of your body from others? If so, you’re not alone.

As a child and teenager, I spent a lot of time believing that something was wrong with my body. Like many people I work with now, that belief came from a mix of my own insecurities and the messages I absorbed from family, friends, and the world around me—that being thinner would somehow make me more worthy or lovable. I started trying to control my weight in middle school, which led to years of difficult and unhealthy patterns with food and a deep sense of self-doubt. No matter how my body changed, I never felt comfortable in it.

Things began to shift for me during graduate school, when I worked with a supervisor who treated eating disorders. Learning more about how weight stigma is at the root of many people’s negative body image helped me see my struggles in a new light. This shift not only changed how I related to my own body, but also sparked my desire to support others who feel stuck in similar cycles.

I aim to offer a warm, supportive space where clients feel understood and not judged. Many feel disconnected from their bodies, stressed around food, or caught in patterns of shame and self-criticism. Therapy becomes a place to make sense of these experiences, and begin building a kinder, more peaceful relationship with food and with one’s body.
