Hi y’all, I’m Niki

I’m a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) and specialize in substance use. I help people build healthier relationships with food, their bodies, and their emotions. I am Health at Every Size aligned. Our work together will focus on:

  • tolerating uncomfortable emotions

  • reducing ineffective behaviors

  • dismantling false beliefs about food and bodies

  • practicing therapeutic skills to help navigate life

  • and pausing … recovery is in the pause!

Having struggled with an eating disorder and substance use from adolescence into adulthood, I have first-hand knowledge of how challenging the journey toward recovery can be. At the center of my therapeutic approach is a collaborative relationship. You are the expert of your experiences. We will work together to move towards your goals.
