It can be hard to love our bodies in today's world. We are bombarded by images of what we "should" look like; however, these images are often unrealistic, unattainable, and sometimes, even dangerous.

Let me help you to learn healthy coping skills, develop a more positive self-image, and build self-esteem in a safe and supportive environment.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.

While I am not an expert on eating disorders, I do have experience dealing with many different control issues. Eating disorders typically deal with using food to give yourself a sense of control. Body dysmorphia usually goes hand in hand as well, sometimes viewing yourself as weighing much more than you actually do or maybe gaining weight to insulate or protect yourself from pain you have been through. We can work together to find the root causes of your eating disorder and how to shift your thinking to help you get to a healthier place with food and yourself.

Do you deal with your problems by eating, restricting your intake or purge? Have you noticed that your eating habits are affecting your life, happiness, and or your ability to concentrate?

I began my career in nutritional counseling with a focus on eating disorders and compulsive eating. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral techniques, expressive arts therapy, and 12-step philosophy. Together we'll explore your relationship with food and your body. Food is a natural part of life and you deserve to be free from suffering or worrying about food and body image!

am here to help you for as long as you need. Life gets difficult sometimes and support from friends, family, and self-help doesn't always work--that is when therapy can help. I work with my clients to identify the core of their pain, its underlying causes, and the beliefs, thought patterns, and external influences that perpetuate it. The overarching goal is to break these patterns and learn skills to increase self-efficacy, self-compassion, and acceptance. ​
