About

Maybe you’ve been navigating a chronic illness - grappling with exhaustion, chronic pain, and a loss of self. Perhaps you’re trying to build a better relationship with food and your health, but feel stuck because you fear feeling sick, experience disgust toward certain foods, have little interest in eating; or struggle with weight loss. You may push yourself relentlessly on the field, in a match, or on the track, only to find yourself feeling burned out or disconnected from your sport. The people I work with come to therapy because they feel unheard, stuck, or have repeatedly silenced their feelings to meet external expectations.
