Having walked my own path of recovery from an eating disorder, I know that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about the process of becoming. Recovery is not a destination but a continuous unfolding of deeper self-awareness, connection, and freedom. It’s about releasing the behaviors and narratives that no longer serve you, allowing you to step into the person you are meant to be. It’s about cultivating peace and rediscovering your energy. Honestly, it’s a lot of trial and error—it involves practice.

While my work is deeply rooted in helping individuals who are navigating disordered eating, body image distress, and the complex relationship with food, my approach is not limited to eating disorders. The patterns that underlie these struggles—perfectionism, emotional dysregulation, shame, disconnection, trauma—often show up in many areas of life. I work with individuals who are feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or alone, regardless of whether food is the central issue.

At the core of my work is attachment—the way we connect, trust, and feel safe in relationships, including the one we have with ourselves. Our early experiences shape how we navigate closeness, conflict, and vulnerability, and these patterns often emerge in our relationships with food, emotions, and others. Therapy offers a space to explore these dynamics with curiosity and compassion, so you can understand why you’ve been behaving the way you are and begin the process of change with support by your side.

My approach is attachment-based and trauma-informed—grounded in curiosity, empathy, directness, and a relaxed yet intentional atmosphere. I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, with an emphasis on Brainspotting, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), to help you build greater psychological flexibility, process unresolved trauma, and create deeper, more secure connections.

Whether you’re struggling with an eating disorder or feeling caught in patterns of anxiety, mood swings, or disconnection, we can explore what’s beneath the surface and move toward meaningful change.

You are the expert on your life. Therapy is just the space where you can safely explore, understand, and transform. Let’s work together.

“What you seek is seeking you.” – Rumi

Fun fact: While “What you seek is seeking you” captures the essence of Rumi’s message, a more precise translation would be “You are what you are looking for,” highlighting the internal journey of self-discovery.

I think both are true 🙂
