Does it feel impossible to love, accept, or even just tolerate your body, weight, and/or shape in a world that is always telling you to be something other than what you are? Diet culture is everywhere, and it can be so confusing to know what, when, and how much to eat and how often and in what ways to move your body. Perhaps you are struggling with guilt and shame related to things you've heard or been taught about your body and food. If you want to move toward peace and freedom with food and to have a more neutral view of your body, please reach out! I am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist. I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My therapeutic style is directive, practical, and validating. I practice from a HAES (Health At Every Size) perspective and utilize the principles of Intuitive Eating. Whether you have been suffering in silence and have never sought therapy or if you have tried therapy before and do not think you can be helped, I invite you to reach out and see if our work together can make the difference. You deserve to live the life you desire.
