I can relate!
I know how complicated our relationships with our bodies can be. Even when we understand that appearance and weight don't define our worth, it can be difficult to step away from the messages we've absorbed about how we are supposed to look, eat, or feel in our bodies. I bring both professional expertise and a genuine understanding of how personal and sometimes exhausting these struggles are for many people. My goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about your experiences without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you should simply learn to “love your body.” Instead, we can work toward feeling more comfortable, compassionate, and at home in yourself.
Therapy for body image, weight stigma, and disordered eating
Are you struggling with negative feelings about your body?
Have you received critical comments about your body from family or friends?
Do you have a strained relationship with food?
In our weight obsessed culture, we receive so many messages about the importance of achieving or maintaining the “ideal” body. These messages lead many people to feel anxious or fearful about their body shape or size, creating pressure to constantly monitor, change, or control their appearance. Over time, this can contribute to a complicated and often stressful relationship with food, body image, and self-worth.
There is a different path—one that allows you to move through life with more ease and confidence. I would be honored to walk this path with you.
