My clients are transitional age youth through older adults typically seeking support around concerns with their relationship with food and body. We may also be exploring relational difficulties, mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression and experiences of trauma. If you have been struggling with chronic dieting behaviors and frustrations around body size/shape, therapy is aimed at challenging diet cultured and weight stigmatized beliefs and develop a body neutral stance.

You struggle with day to day activities because of the relentless negative loops that play over and over in your mind. You are anxious and do not know how to deal with or understand why. You are in a relationship with poor or no communication. You are a "people pleaser" and lack the inability to say "no". Small tasks feel overwhelming. You are confused and anxious about your next steps. You are ready to be the best version of yourself. Am I talking to you?
