Lots of people don’t like their bodies. Maybe abuse or neglect created dissociation, an eating disorder or depression. Body distortions can happen for a variety of reasons, each needing a somewhat different approach. I’m also an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist.

Body image involves two key elements: a mental picture of one’s physical body (including size, shape, and appearance), and one’s attitude toward the physical self (such as thoughts, feelings and beliefs about one’s body). A negative or unhealthy body image can contribute to low self-esteem and cause persistent anxiety, which in some extreme cases can interfere with our daily living. A healthy body image means that you begin to accept the body that you have and are committed to loving and caring for your body even with the flaws. Let's work together to begin to love and celebrate our bodies.

Are you living out someone else's story of your body?
Is your relationship with your body one of judgement, shame, disconnection or control?
Are you tired of being limited by and unhappy with how you look?
We carry around our families old stories or culture's stories of our bodies so we need learn to rewrite those stories and live out different endings. You deserve a loving strong relationship with your body that allows you for more self-acceptance and peace in your life. Through a variety of tools that may include somatic work, art therapy, yoga or other modalities begin the path of returning to your body.
