Self-growth isn't easy. Making the decision to grow and heal is even more difficult. Know that you won't be walking down the path of healing by yourself. I'm excited to see the work that you and I will accomplish and the goals you'll achieve by choosing yourself, growth, and healing! I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating and body dysmorphia. Blending my clinical experience and neuroscience educational and research background, I help clients understand the function of their eating disorder and root of their negative body image to help them work towards body respect and unconditional nourishment. Repairing the mind/body connection in eating disorders is imperative to long-term recovery. I help clients understand the importance of reconnecting with and honoring their physical body through an empowerment-based, feminist, anti-racist Health At Every Size and queer affirming approach. Choosing to recover in a culture that praises disordered eating and is critical of different body types is one of the most difficult things you could do. I'm here to support you on this journey of discovering and connecting with your true self so that you can leave your eating disorder behind for good.
