Living with an eating disorder can feel incredibly isolating. There’s often so much secrecy and shame tied to food, body image, and eating behaviors—things most people never see on the surface. If you’ve found the courage to reach out for support, please know that it’s a brave and powerful first step. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry this by yourself anymore.

My approach is rooted in Health at Every Size (HAES) principles, which means we focus on well-being—not weight. I believe your body is not the problem. Together, we’ll explore the deeper emotional and psychological roots—like trauma, anxiety, or perfectionism—that may be driving your relationship with food.

I also incorporate elements of intuitive eating, helping you reconnect with your body’s natural cues and learn to trust yourself around food again. Healing is possible, and I’m here to support you in creating a more peaceful relationship with your body and with food—on your terms.

Living with a chronic illness can be a lot—it’s not just the physical symptoms, but the emotional weight that comes with it. Anxiety, depression, grief, and even hopelessness can show up, especially when your body feels unpredictable or out of your control. You might feel a loss of independence, or notice how much harder it is to access things that once felt simple.

And while some disabilities are visible, many are invisible—often overlooked or misunderstood. That lack of recognition can add to the emotional toll, leaving you feeling unseen or dismissed.

For many, chronic illness is also deeply connected to trauma—whether it’s medical trauma, the trauma of living in a body that feels unsafe, or the daily micro-traumas of navigating a world that isn’t built for your needs. From a trauma-focused lens, we’ll explore how your nervous system has been impacted, and how you can begin to feel more grounded, resourced, and supported.

In therapy, we’ll hold space for all of it—the anger, the grief, the fear, the hope. You deserve support that sees the full picture, not just the diagnosis.

Trauma affects everyone differently. Sometimes, it’s not even immediately obvious how something has impacted us—whether it’s a past experience, a relationship, or even ongoing stress. It’s easy to brush things off or minimize them, but the truth is, our bodies and minds hold onto everything.

Our nervous system responds to these events in ways that can show up as anxiety, flashbacks, emotional numbness, or even physical tension and pain. We carry these responses in our thoughts and emotions, often without realizing the deep connection between the past and how we react in the present.

In therapy, we’ll explore how your nervous system has been impacted by trauma, and how this shows up in your daily life. Using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), we can work together to process and reframe those memories and emotional triggers. Additionally, I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand the different parts of yourself—those protective, wounded, and sometimes overwhelmed parts—and learn how to bring them into harmony. By addressing trauma at both the emotional and physiological level, we can create safety, healing, and a deeper sense of peace.

Living with ADHD can feel like you’re constantly trying to keep up but never quite getting there. You might feel like you’re different from others, struggling to meet expectations at work, in relationships, or even with everyday things like eating and staying organized. And when you don’t keep up, it can lead to feelings of rejection, shame, or just frustration—like no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough.

On top of that, the world we live in—especially in our productivity-driven, capitalist society—makes it even harder. We’re constantly expected to be efficient, organized, and constantly on the go, which doesn’t exactly match the way ADHD brains work. That pressure to perform can leave you feeling burnt out and like you're never measuring up to the standards set by systems that don't take your needs into account.

For many people with ADHD, trauma can also be part of the picture—whether that’s being told you're "too much" or "not enough," or being constantly criticized and misunderstood. This can lead to a pattern of masking—pretending everything’s fine when it’s not, just to meet expectations. But masking can be exhausting, leaving you feeling disconnected from who you really are.

In therapy, we’ll talk about how ADHD and past trauma affect you, and how the world around you might make those challenges even tougher. We’ll use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you work through past experiences and explore the different parts of you—the parts that try to protect you by masking, and the parts that need care and understanding. The goal is to find strategies that work for you, not the world’s expectations, so you can feel more in control, grounded, and connected to yourself.

As women, there’s often an unspoken pressure to have it all together—constantly balancing multiple roles, responsibilities, and expectations. Whether it’s in your career, as a mother, in relationships, or even just taking care of yourself, the weight of trying to “do it all” can leave you feeling like you’re never truly winning. No matter how hard you try, it can feel like you’re always falling short.

This pressure can lead to burnout, self-doubt, and frustration, especially when the world expects us to be perfect and keep up with an impossible standard. Over time, these feelings can wear you down and make you question your worth, leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself or your sense of purpose.

In therapy, we’ll work together to unpack the expectations placed on you, and explore how they’re affecting your mental health and sense of self. Whether it’s learning to let go of perfectionism, managing the emotional weight of gendered expectations, or finding space to prioritize yourself without guilt, we’ll work on building a path that feels more sustainable and authentic to who you are.
