Introduction

I am currently accepting new clients. If you're overwhelmed by anxiety, or feeling stuck in a distressing relationship with food or your body, I am here to support you in finding relief. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image distress, and work with adults of all ages and genders (I’m LGBTQIA2S+ celebratory). I can join you in creating a treatment plan to overcome symptoms of anxiety like excessive worrying, irritability, and difficulty sleeping. I also have specialized training in the treatment of disordered eating and eating disorders like binge eating disorder and bulimia. My style is warm, caring, & welcoming. I use evidence-based therapies that can help you get unstuck from stressful patterns that are no longer working for you, such as avoidance, procrastination, or restrict and binge eating cycles. I have expertise in HAES (Health at Every Size) aligned counseling practices, and I’m a certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. It takes courage to reach out for help! My goal is to create a nonjudgmental, supportive space where we will prioritize your needs. It's so important to work with someone you vibe with, so I welcome you to reach out for a free brief consultation call to see whether we might be a good fit to work together. I would be honored to work with you!
