Intuitive Eating & Weight Neutral Care

Intuitive Eating is an evidence-based approach that helps us find peace with food through learning how to reject diet culture and nourish our body according to what feels best for us as an individual with individual needs. I use my Intuitive Eating certification, combined with my extensive knowledge of anxiety, depression and trauma, to help you end the preoccupation with food.

I approach my work from a weight inclusive, fat positive lens; all bodies are welcome and respected, just as they are. Together we can explore how it feels best to you to honor your desires and needs as they relate to your your body, as well as your life outside your body.

Humanistic therapy centers around the idea that at your core, you know what you want and need and that you are inherently driven to seek out a full and meaningful life. I view my job as therapist as a partner in helping you uncover and heal the limiting beliefs and actions that prevent you from living the life you desire. We achieve this through creating a safe and warm environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and increase self-acceptance.

Yoga Philosophy

Yogic philosophy is grounded in the idea that our bodies and minds are connected. Yoga, composed not just of the physical practice (asana), but also pranayama (breath control) and meditation, can provide support to our efforts to bring healing and joy to our lives. It's also a well-researched intervention in the treatment of trauma. When practiced gently and thoughtfully, yoga can be a safe way to help you be present in your body and learn how to become partners with it, leaving behind shame and distrust. Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score said it well "Once you start approaching your body with curiosity rather than with fear, everything shifts."
