Headline: Healing Your Relationship with Your Body in a Culture That Isn’t on Your Side
The Reality of Living in Diet Culture
We live in a world that makes it feel nearly impossible to exist without a constant, critical inner monologue about your body or your plate. No one comes out of our weight-obsessed culture unscathed, and for many, the "baggage" of these stories becomes a heavy, daily burden. If you feel like you are constantly at war with your reflection or your appetite, you are not alone—and it isn’t your fault.
A Sanctuary of Body Liberation
My practice is rooted in Body Liberation. I believe that every body—including yours—is inherently worthy of acceptance, compassion, and uncompromising care. I specialize in helping individuals who have never felt "safe" accepting themselves in a world that demands they change.
My Specialized Framework
In a private-pay setting, you deserve a therapist who understands the high-stakes complexity of recovery. My approach is defined by:
Health at Every Size (HAES®): I provide weight-neutral care that honors the rich diversity of human shapes and sizes. We focus on health behaviors and psychological well-being, not the number on the scale.
Nuanced Advocacy: We will engage in the sophisticated, often difficult conversations required to navigate a medical system and a culture preoccupied with size.
A Roadmap to Peace: We move beyond "body positivity" toward body neutrality and liberation—helping you reclaim the mental energy currently spent on body-checking and food-tracking so you can reinvest it in your actual life.
Why Choose This Approach?
You are investing in more than just "talk therapy." You are investing in a specialized partnership that challenges the status quo of your suffering. Together, we will untangle your worth from your weight and build a foundation of self-trust that diet culture can no longer shake.
20 Years Experience
Online in Lisbon, Portugal (Online Only)
Lisbon has become one of Europe's most sought-after cities for remote workers, expats, and retirees, and the resulting surge in housing costs and rapid cultural change has driven significant demand for therapy among both newly arrived residents and long-term Lisbonites navigating a transformed city. English-language therapy is widely available, with many internationally trained practitioners operating in neighborhoods like Príncipe Real, Chiado, and Baixa, as well as through online platforms serving clients across Portugal. Common therapy themes include expat adjustment and identity, anxiety, relationship issues, and the challenges of building community in a rapidly changing urban environment. Portuguese-language therapy is well-established and growing, with an increasing number of local therapists trained in contemporary evidence-based approaches.
