If your relationship with your body feels fraught, exhausting, or inconsistent, you’re not alone. Perhaps you grew up in a household where your body and health were criticized or where you witnessed fatphobia. Maybe you’ve spent years chasing an ideal that always seems just out of reach, or you're stuck in a loop of rules, restriction, shame, and maybe loss of control.
You might be on a GLP-1 or using other weight-focused interventions. Maybe you’re questioning the whole system, but aren't sure where you fit if you don't buy in. That in-between limbo is real. You don’t have to be all-in on any movement to deserve peace with your body. You just have to be tired of the harm and suffering.
Our cultural definitions of health are narrow and built on systems of exclusion. Health is complex and multi-faceted. It’s not a moral obligation, it’s not one-size-fits-all, and it's socially determined, so we have limited influence over it.
I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES)-aligned perspective. I am anti-diet and all foods fit. My work is grounded in the belief that fatness is not a problem to be solved—and that all bodies deserve compassionate care without condition.
In therapy, we’ll gently untangle the stories you’ve been told about your body and your worth. We’ll make space for grief, anger, confusion—and also for curiosity, self-trust, and maybe even softness. Using approaches informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we'll explore how to live more in line with your values, even in a world that tells you to shrink.
This work isn’t about “fixing” anything—it’s about reclaiming a different relationship with body and food. Often our goal is not body positivity, but body acceptance and neutrality. Whether you're just beginning to question the rules or ready to burn them down, I’ll meet you right where you are.
Also...food is joy! Food is culture and connection! Food is yummy and fun! And our bodies are incredibly resilient, capable, and beautiful.
Many of my clients report a constellation of concerns including challenges such as anxiety, emotion regulation, and disordered eating, such as binge eating.
I see clients with disordered eating concerns and sometimes require that they work concurrently with an eating disorder dietitian. When those clients are teens, I ask that family be available and involved. I have previously worked in an eating disorder treatment facility and have at times referred private practice clients to higher levels of care when necessary. We can discuss your treatment plan during your consult and intake.
If your primary concern is an active and serious eating disorder, it would be most appropriate for you to seek care from a different therapist who focuses their practice on EDs.
While I have done this work historically, and care deeply for this population, I am now focusing on primary mental health disorders, and am therefore open to clients who have disordered eating concerns as part of their set of challenges, rather than the top concern.
