When surviving takes all your energy, thriving feels impossible. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Let’s figure out what’s going on underneath the struggle, and get you some tools to actually change it. For real.
Your eating disorder has a lot to say about what to eat, when to eat, and how your body should look. I help you understand what it’s trying to protect you from and how to build a healthier relationship with food so you can finally feel at home in your body again. I also provide eating exposure therapy and meal support.

Sometimes family relationships can be so full of built-up tension that the home feels like a battlezone, even though there’s love. I help families understand their patterns and develop healthier ways of communicating so home can feel supportive instead of stressful.

The work nobody wants to do (but gets the best results)
Sometimes our brains act like our worst experiences from the past are still happening right now. And to get out of that pain, we’ll try a lot: staying busy, using substances, zoning out—anything to avoid actually feeling it. I help you process what happened, at your pace, so we can teach your brain to keep the past in the past and you can finally feel relaxed again.
