About

Something is out of sorts.

You feel out of control, anxious, depressed, lonely, or frustrated.

Expressing how you feel is hard, but not expressing your emotions can leave you feeling lonely, misunderstood, and unworthy.

Sometimes you explode over seemingly little things that are a combination of unspoken thoughts and unexpressed emotions.

Perhaps you’re not satisfied with your body.

If you struggle with food, you probably feel conflicted. Sometimes it provides great solace, and other times it feels like the enemy at the door.

Your body is never good enough; there is always something unacceptable in the mirror – something you need to improve upon.

Secretly, you believe that if you changed your body, the other parts of your life would be better.

You feel alone, but you aren’t.

I have worked with so many who struggle with similar challenges. In my office, we collaborate to explore what you want your life and relationships to look like and design a roadmap for getting there.

In my 30s, I went through coach training and worked as a life coach specializing in helping people create a better relationship with food and their bodies.

I discovered three important things that completely changed my direction.

First, it really isn’t about the food, because resolving the underlying issues alone often does not improve one’s relationship with food and his/her/their body.

Second, so often one’s relationship with others is reflected in some way by one’s relationship to food and one’s body.

Third, most of my clients really needed therapy; I found myself referring the very people I most wanted to help to more qualified professionals.

So, in my early 40s, I went to back graduate school and became a therapist. It was the best decision I ever made.
