Are you concerned about your relationship with food?
Maybe you…
Have been dieting unsuccessfully for years.
Have begun to notice your behaviors becoming more extreme.
Are struggling with uncontrolled overeating, or simply tired of gaining and losing the same weight over and over again.
Are feeling afraid that a provider wont take your concerns seriously because you are not in a small body or considered “underweight.”
You’re beginning to notice the impact of this in your life:
Eating has lost its joy.
You do not feel comfortable in your body.
You always feel disconnected, anxious, or numb
Your friends or family have expressed concern about your eating habits.
Intuitive Eating Can Help
I can help you…
Reconnect with your body to use your internal wisdom to determine your food choices.
Leave the cycle of binging and restricting behind.
Take steps to find holistic health without weight loss so you can make peace with food and ditch diets for good.
I’ll tailor each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to Intuitive Eating Counseling stems from a place of acceptance: learning to nourish and respect the body you have today so that you can form a positive relationship with food for the long term.

Occasionally, clients may lose weight through the process of intuitive eating. If this is the case for you, I will neither validate nor invalidate that experience.

I believe everyone has the right to body autonomy and, as a therapist, I meet people where they are. I will not offer interventions to support the diet.

Not at all! You are a whole person, and when someone is struggling with their relationship with food, there are usually many other issues at play that need to be addressed.
