How I can support you
From one-on-one therapy to professional consultation and community education, here's how we might work together.
How we work together:
Individual Therapy for Adults
Personalized, confidential support for adults via Telehealth. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all; we’ll collaborate on an approach that helps you feel safe, grounded, and empowered so you can reconnect with what truly matters.
My fee is $200 per 50-minute session, and longer, more intensive session formats can be arranged if needed. I also offer a limited number of reduced-fee slots, and I’m happy to discuss whether one might be available.
HAES-Aligned Case Consultation
I provide case consultation for professionals seeking guidance through a Health at Every Size® lens. Eating disorders and body-based concerns are complex, and thoughtful, informed care reduces the risk of unintentional harm. Whether you need a one-time consult or ongoing support, we’ll work together to strengthen your confidence and clinical clarity.
Speaking Engagements & Workshops
I offer interactive presentations for organizations and groups on weight stigma, eating disorders, and Health at Every Size®. When we understand the systems shaping our beliefs, we can create environments that support real change. Let’s bring that understanding to your community.
What we focus on:
Clients seek me out for a variety of reasons, but there tends to be a common thread, and that is the pressure to perform and the voice inside of them that constantly tells them they aren’t enough. Each person may experience that a bit differently, but here are some of the areas in which I’ve helped clients find relief:
Food & Body Healing
So many of us have been taught that we’re the problem and that the “fix” is whatever diet or “lifestyle change” comes next. You’re not broken, the system is. Food and body struggles make sense in a world that rewards conformity and punishes difference.
In our work together, we won’t jump to forced “body love.” We’ll start where you are, build safety within yourself, and take steps toward body respect at a pace that honors your lived experience.
I can help with:
• Recovering into a larger body: As someone who has recovered into a larger body myself, I understand how painful assumptions and stigma can be. Your body isn’t a problem to solve, and you deserve care that honors its wisdom.
• Finding body neutrality: If trust between you and your body feels strained, that’s okay. Together we’ll work toward body acceptance, tolerance, or whatever feels accessible instead of continuing to operate with body hate as your default setting.
• Reducing eating disorder behaviors: Healing doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. A harm-reduction approach allows you to gradually lessen behaviors while building new coping tools without overwhelm.
• Letting go of rigid food rules: Often when we create too many rules to feel in control of our bodies, the rules end up controlling us instead. We’ll loosen the grip of those rules gently and make space for more freedom, flexibility, and self-trust.
Perfectionism & People-Pleasing
When your worth has always felt tied to how much you do for others, or how flawlessly you perform, it makes sense that slowing down feels unsafe. Perfectionism and people-pleasing aren’t personality traits. They’re survival strategies you learned to stay connected, avoid conflict, or earn approval in environments that didn’t make you feel unconditionally valued.
In therapy, we’ll explore where these patterns came from, how they’ve protected you, and how to set yourself free.
I support clients with:
Understanding the roots of perfectionism
Perfectionism doesn’t come out of nowhere. It often grows from early rules about who you had to be to stay safe, loved, or accepted. Together, we’ll explore how those expectations took hold and how they’re still shaping the pressure you carry today.
Setting boundaries without guilt
If saying no feels selfish or unsafe, you’re not broken. We’ll work on creating boundaries that honor your needs without the constant fear of letting others down or being “too much.”
Letting go of performing your worth
Many people learn to earn belonging by being productive, agreeable, or impressive. Therapy can be a place to practice being enough without proving it, fixing it, or holding it all together.
Reclaiming rest, ease, and choice
When your life is organized around avoiding disappointment, exhaustion becomes the norm. We’ll make space for rest and flexibility so your decisions are guided by what actually matters to you, not fear or obligation.
Anxiety & Control
Anxiety often shows up when life feels unpredictable, when you’ve been expected to hold everything together, or when you’ve spent years trying to manage everyone else’s reactions. Control becomes a way to feel safe, even if it’s exhausting.
Together, we’ll look at what your anxiety is trying to protect you from and build tools that help you feel grounded, capable, and less consumed by the “what ifs.”
I help clients start:
Naming the pressures that keep you in overdrive
When your mind never slows down, it’s often because it learned that staying alert was necessary. Together, we’ll look at what’s fueling the constant hypervigilance and why rest can feel unfamiliar or unsafe.
Unwinding rigid rules and routines
Rules can offer a sense of control, until they start running your life. We’ll gently question the belief that you have to do everything “right” to be okay and create more room for flexibility and choice.
Grounding tools that actually help
Mindfulness isn’t about forcing calm or clearing your mind. We’ll find regulation strategies that meet you where you are, not where you think you’re supposed to be.
Building internal safety
Anxiety often keeps you bracing for what might go wrong. Therapy can help you learn to trust your own responses so you’re not living in constant preparation mode.
