Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist
Do you believe that happiness is not possible unless you obtain a certain body size, relationship or job and are on a constant quest for perfectionism? You may find yourself turning to addiction, chaotic relationships, disordered eating, your inner critic and negative body image to find relief from anxiety, stress or trauma. This is understandable, but there is another way... Imagine creating a compassionate relationship with yourself based on accepting your body as a source of wisdom, connecting you to your feelings, authenticity, creativity and life force. My style is warm, collaborative and grounded. In listening to your unique experience, I will provide guidance in shifting limiting patterns to transform negative body image and heal your relationship with food, and underlying issues such as trauma, depression and anxiety. This will allow you to access more fulfilling relationships, work, play and relaxation. Emphasizing health, vitality and wellness at any size or life passage, gives you the permission to embrace your life in the present moment. This can be an act of liberation in a society that perpetuates diet culture, materialism and feeling not good enough. I provide a safe, supportive space for those of all sizes, especially those living in larger bodies.
