You’re caught in a cycle of 'shoulds': I should be happy. I should be grateful. I should be stronger. I should get over it. You worry that you’re a hopeless cause. Maybe you’re on the verge of giving up: Am I destined to live this way forever? Is healing even possible? Living with disordered eating, trauma, addiction, and loss is painful. Diet culture and body hate gaslight us into believing that we are not worthy. As a result, we shut ourselves off from relationships and experiences. We seek ways to numb the pain. In the end, we wind up denying ourselves the pleasure of living fully.
I want you to know that your story is sacred and deserves to be heard. I’m here to witness that story, help you find meaning, and begin to write a new story of healing and hope. I invite you to bring your own interests into the therapeutic process – art, poetry, music, spirituality, nature, etc.

My role is to carry the light of hope for you until you can claim and carry it for yourself.
