I believe all bodies are innately good and wise, but the power of systemic and individual factors can often cause us to turn away from ourselves, making body-trust difficult.
I work from the perspective that freedom with food, body, and physical activity is possible, yet looks different, for all bodies. I hope to support individuals discover their unique style of eating, moving, and embodiment and to challenge the narrow (and often harmful) images and definitions we’re taught about food, body, and exercise. I believe all bodies deserve to move intuitively and joyfully, as much or as little as they are able and desire, without shame, obligation, avoidance, or compulsivity.
I pull from many therapeutic models to facilitate (re)discovery of trust and companionship with ourselves and our bodies, but most of all, I use the therapeutic relationship as an agent of change. Therapy with me is relationally focused.
My work is based in values aligned with a Health at Every Size, anti-diet approach.
