About My Clients

In the beginning, clients typically tell me they can't stop thinking about food. They’re finding a large part of their day is dedicated to their next meal. They miss out on time with loved ones because the concern of what they will “be able” to eat is too strong. A lot of my clients find themselves in a dieting spiral. They “do good” for a while, and then they binge later, leading to feelings of shame and guilt. Most have heard conflicting things about their bodies.

My Background and Approach

After some hard work and difficult conversations, my clients get their lives back. They stop thinking about food as much, they see their bodies as neutral, and they take back control of their lives. The time they used to spend thinking about food and exercise is replaced with meaningful memories with friends and family. My style of therapy involves a lot of humor, open mindedness, focusing on strengths, and providing feedback. You can expect a listening ear, a confidential space, and a therapist who wants to see you develop into the best possible version of yourself.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My practice is deeply rooted in the Health at Every Size® framework, intuitive eating, and the belief that all bodies are good bodies. I also believe: You are beautiful, and that is the least interesting thing about you. The role of exercise is not to punish yourself for the things you ate. Rest is productive. Food tastes best without a side of shame or guilt. Ross and Rachel were NOT on a break. Lisa Frank stationary never went out of style.
