Do you spend a lot of time criticizing or worrying about your body and how you look? Are your thoughts often consumed with finding clothes that hide the parts of your body you feel are somehow "wrong" or "unacceptable?" Do you try to use food and/or exercise to control and change the shape and size of your body? Do you think that once you get down or up to "X" weight you will finally feel like you are enough?
If you are ready to learn how to make peace with your body and food, counseling can help. You want to figure out how to feel good in the body you have, but don't know where to start -- or if it's even possible. We will work together from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework so you can redefine your relationship with your body. We will unpack the internalized and external messages that have shaped your beliefs about your body. You will learn how to hear and "trust your gut" again. You will learn how to develop a relationship with food and movement that feels like support vs. punishment. Compassion vs. judgement.
If you are ready to finally call a truce with the war on your body, then I would love to help.

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.
