Finding Peace with Food and Your Body

​

Struggling with food, exercise, or body image can feel overwhelming and isolating — but you don’t have to go through it alone. If you find yourself caught in cycles of disordered eating, compulsive exercise, or harsh self-criticism, therapy can provide a supportive place to begin making peace with food, your body, and yourself.

​

My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. Together, we’ll look at the thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck in this cycle of control and criticism, and build practical tools to help you manage urges, emotions, and critical self-talk with greater ease.

​

Healing Beyond Behaviors

​

Recovery isn’t only about changing eating habits. It’s also about understanding the deeper story. Often, eating disorders serve a protective role or carry unspoken messages about your needs. In our work, we’ll explore these underlying dynamics with curiosity and compassion.

​

My goal is to help you connect with the parts of yourself that long for healing, practice self-compassion even when life feels overwhelming, and move beyond symptom management into a fuller, more sustainable recovery.

​

My Approach

​

• Anti-diet culture & HAES® aligned — I believe worth and health are not determined by body size, and that all bodies deserve dignity, respect, and care.

• Intuitive Eating — for clients who are interested, I integrate principles of Intuitive Eating, supporting you in letting go of rigid food rules, rebuilding trust in your body’s cues, and finding more ease in nourishing yourself.

• Cultural awareness — we’ll examine the cultural and relational messages that have shaped your body image, and name the systems of oppression that perpetuate harmful narratives about bodies. Together, we’ll work toward body liberation and self-acceptance.

​

Working with Couples in Recovery

​

Eating disorders affect not only individuals but also relationships. When one partner is in recovery, both may feel strain around meals, body image, or emotional connection. In couples therapy, I help partners:

• Build understanding and empathy for what recovery entails

• Develop communication tools to share needs, fears, and boundaries

• Reduce conflict around food or body image struggles

• Reconnect as a team so recovery becomes a shared journey, not a solitary one

 

Supporting Parents & Mothers

​

I also work with parents who want to reflect on their own relationship with food and body image so they can create a healthier, more positive environment for their children.

I especially enjoy supporting mothers through pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood — life stages that bring profound changes to body and identity. Our work may focus on accepting these changes, practicing self-care while caring for children, and discovering new ways to nourish both body and mind.
