Eating Disorders

Do you feel trapped in a cycle of destructive eating patterns and negative body image?

Does your relationship with food and body image impact your daily life and relationships?

​

Struggles with body image can lead to a constant preoccupation with food, weight, shape, and appearance, fueling self-criticism, shame, and unhealthy eating patterns. Disordered eating creates emotional turmoil, leading to obsessive thoughts, extreme behaviors, and a sense of losing control.  This preoccupation with food and appearance can escalate quickly, affecting both mental and physical well-being and distancing you from the people and experiences that matter.

​

My goal is to help you rebuild a healthy, balanced relationship with food and your body.  Using an intuitive eating approach, I guide you towards a mindset that fosters empowerment and sustainable well-being.

​

Through talk therapy, we’ll explore your relationship with food, uncover emotional triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and self-compassion.

  • Grief and loss

  • Social adjustments

 Signs of Depression::

  • Persistent sadness or hopelessness

  • Loss of interest or motivation

​

Symptoms of Anxiety:

  • A sense of dread or excessive worry

In therapy, we will work together to develop effective coping strategies tailored to your unique situation. This collaboration process aims to help you manage stress, process complex emotions, and build resilience. By addressing these challenges, you can navigate life transitions with greater confidence and maintain your emotional well-being.

​

Remember, seeking support during times of change is a proactive step toward fostering personal growth and ensuring a smoother adjustment process.

Couples Therapy

Is your relationship facing communication challenges, trust issues, or intimacy concerns?

Navigating the complexities of emotional triggers and communication patterns can profoundly impact your relationship’s health. When emotions become overwhelming, they can lead to reactions that feel uncontrollable, fostering ineffective communication and persistent conflicts.

Through a compassionate and structured approach, you’ll acquire effective coping mechanisms, self-soothing techniques, and enhanced interpersonal communication skills. Our goal is to empower you to break free from unproductive cycles, fostering a more harmonious and fulfilling relationship.

​​

Couples counseling addresses a wide range of relationship challenges, including communication issues, trust concerns, intimacy struggles, and major life transitions.  I also have extensive experience working with high-conflict couples and addressing deeply entrenched patterns of discord. Whether you’re facing specific difficulties or seeking to strengthen your bond, our sessions provide a safe space to explore and resolve these matters.  By engaging in this therapeutic process, you’ll acquire effective and your partner can develop a deeper understanding of each other, improve conflict resolutions skills, and build a resilient partnership grounded in mutual respect and empathy.

​

Embarking on this therapeutic journey requires courage and commitment. Together, we will work towards building a resilient partnership grounded in mutual understanding and empathy.
