About
You've done the first, hard step of your journey - reaching out for support. Whether you've been diagnosed with an eating disorder or food just feels anxiety provoking and exhausting you deserve a life that is more free! Food and our bodies are constants in our lives, and yet our relationships with them can be challenging and keep our life smaller than we want it to be. I strongly believe that no one should have to go through life feeling overwhelmed by food or disconnected and at-odds with their body. Together we can explore your story and history with food and your body and the ways you would like those relationships to be different. I take a whole person, individualized approach that means we will find what works best for you and throw out the rest. I encourage you to bring all of yourself into our space so that together we can identify behaviors and beliefs that work for you now and those that worked for you in the past but are no longer serving you.

Get StartedWhat it's like working with me
Your session with me: I want to know and support you as a whole person so our discussions won't always be centered just around food. Together will discover how all the parts of you influence the ways you care for yourself and find what is effective and where we might want to try something different so that you can live the life you want and deserve
My energy: Calm, grounded, and curious. I am happy to hold space for all of your parts and emotions, I can take your anger and love celebrating your wins.
Outside of the office: You'll find me in my garden, or planning my garden, or talking about my garden. I love working with the soil and growing any and everything.
Fun fact: I lived in Los Angeles for 10 years, and yes, I really did decide to leave and move to Ohio of all places. Once a Cleveland girl, always a Cleveland girl!
