Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re not totally sure what’s “wrong” or where to begin. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated with their relationship with food, their body, or the people around them. My role is to help you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and figure out what might actually help, without judgment or pressure to be a certain way. I often work with middle school and teen clients when concerns around food, body image, or eating start to take up a lot of mental space. I also work with adults dealing with similar struggles, as well as parents and families who want support figuring out how to respond in ways that feel steady and helpful rather than reactive or overwhelming. My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with influences from CBT, IFS, Motivational Interviewing, self compassion work, and person-centered care. All are welcome here! People come in for lots of different reasons, but the work often centers on helping things feel more manageable. This might include concerns around food and body image, anxiety or mood changes, family conflict, big life transitions, or patterns that feel hard to shift. Feeling comfortable with your therapist matters.
