I just want to hold space for you here for a moment. Take a deep breath. Give yourself credit for making it this far. Think about how brave it is to care enough about yourself to be here and to be willing to learn something new.
I’m a therapist and coach with 20 years of combined experience in trauma therapy, family and group counseling, child welfare, social work, nonprofit leadership, and disordered eating. I’m trained and skilled in Health at Every Size®, Intuitive Eating, Body Trust®, Internal Family Systems, and I'm in the process of obtaining my certification in Body Trust®.
I also have lived experience as a fat woman, a mother of two daughters, and a person living with and recovering from anxiety, disordered eating, body image struggles, and grief and loss. I’m also an all-season hiker and travel-loving vegetarian foodie who is always on the hunt for the best pizza around.
Like you, I used to think that once I was in a smaller body, I would finally start to feel happy. I was desperately waiting for my life to begin – until I learned to change my mind about what was possible for me, exactly as I am. Now, it’s my passion to help you experience the same thing. We all have stuff to work through, and none of us can do it alone. You already have what you need to get to where you want to be – let me guide you through uncovering it.
