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 confusing things about bodies throughout their lives. After some ha...

I can help you understand your unique situation, find a healthier new perspective, and develop the tools you need t...

You are beginning a new phase in your life, but the worry, uncertainty, and fear are making you question everything. It feels contradictory to be excited and hopeful about this new phase, but also terrified and discouraged. You can’t help but compare yourself to how everyone else is feeling, which typically does not make you feel better. It feels frustrating, disappointing, overwhelming, lonely, and sucking the life out of you. You want to feel confident in yourself and your decisions again. ...
