Body image can be such a tough concept to navigate in a world consumed with diet culture and specific standards of beauty. Together, we will challenge those standards and learn strategies to build yourself up rather than tear yourself down.  

We are constantly bombarded with unrealistic images and expectations about how our body should look. When we do not meet those expectations, it can cause great distress.

I work with patients to repair the relationship with your body, empower you to manage experiences as they occur, and develop coping strategies to improve symptoms.
