Hey y’all!

I’m an eating disorder and substance use therapist who helps people build healthier relationships with food, their bodies, and their emotions. My work focuses on:

  • learning to tolerate emotions

  • reducing ineffective behaviors

  • dismantling false beliefs about food and bodies

  • teaching therapeutic skills to help navigate life

  • and pausing … recovery is in the pause!

Having struggled with an eating disorder and substance use in my adolescent years into young adulthood, I know the challenges of moving through life while battling food and body image. My approach begins with a collaborative relationship. You are the expert of your experiences. We will work together to move towards your goals.
