Eating Disorders – Do you know someone or are you someone who has an unhealthy relationship with food? Perinatal Concerns – Whether preconception, pregnancy, infertility, miscarriage, or postpartum; your maternal moments matter.
If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step. How are you feeling? Nervous, relieved, excited, anxious, helpless, overwhelmed, indifferent, eager, all the above? When you decided to seek therapy, you moved yourself out of your comfort zone into your courage zone and that can be scary. Although you may be feeling both undesirable and desirable emotions at this moment, I consider you here as an act of bravery, and I admire your willingness to move toward this 2.0 version of yourself.

I also work with Eating Disorders and Food Addictions to create a positive relationship with food.
Daily stressors are inevitable, and it is essential to build coping strategies for how to manage stress and combat negative thinking patterns. Creating behavior changes is a focal point of psychotherapy and beneficial in wanting a sense of structure and consistency in one's relationships and daily life. My overall goal for each client is to work on obtaining balance within their own healthy lifestyle. Through obtaining balance one's past and present symptoms can lessen and each individual and/or couple can focus on the positive attributes of their life and move forward towards reaching their goals and the life worth living.

You are reading these words for a reason: You want to make a change and you're not sure how. Perhaps you feel socially inept and terrified of judgement or rejection. Or you feel alone and disconnected, unable to communicate effectively with the people you love most. Or you feel at odds with your body and dependent on food rituals surrounded by secrecy and shame. The human mind is wonderfully creative and adaptive. Your symptoms are valid responses to internal and environmental circumstances. In therapy, we can hold and heal your experience together.
