Thanks for being here.

Yes, we are able to opt out so you can benefit from skills coaching, holistic counseling, spiritual-based approaches when desired, more private therapy without a diagnosis, and more flexible care.

It means I blend supportive practices with more traditional clinical practices. This may look like:

• Aromatherapy: Using essential oils to ground the nervous system during a session.

• Mindfulness & Meditation: Teaching you to observe “food noise” or physical sensations without judgment.

• Somatic Tools: Breathing techniques or gentle movement to help process the body-image shifts that happen with rapid weight loss.

• Nature-Based Therapy: Using the outdoors to offset overstimulation and promote nervous system regulation.

• Therapeutic Art: Guided activities for self-reflection, skill integration, self-care and emotional processing.
• Spiritual Reflection: Therapeutic journaling and counseling pertaining to themes of identity, worth, hope, and positive coping from a spiritual standpoint.

I am pending licensure to provide psychotherapy via telehealth to residents of Florida and West Virginia, and hopefully more states in the future. If you’re in another state, I’m happy to speak with you and find resources in your area.

Yes, I can provide therapy over the phone or videocall.

I haven’t, which means I won’t overidentify with your struggles and lose my objectivity. However, I have personally participated in diet programs such as betr health and weight watchers, and I have my own personal fitbit graveyard. I also lost a parent to untreated binge eating disorder in my late teen years, which provides a sense of purpose to my work.

I am happy to provide free consultations to male clients and refer them to a qualified colleague. However, my practice is designed to address the specific social and emotional challenges women face during significant weight loss. By focusing solely on women, I’m able to provide a more deeply tailored therapeutic space for this specific life transition.

Okay, no one has asked me this. But *Nsync obviously.

Never! I work with the understanding that you are human. My primary concern is your success and mental well-being, and being judgmental would not be very helpful to those goals.

I believe that spiritual reflection and spiritual self-care can be an important aspect of many women’s lives, and relevant to mental health.

I do not work from any particular spiritual lens, and I am open to working with clients of all faith backgrounds. If you are not interested in spirituality, it does not have to be a part of your counseling. There is nothing too “out there” or “woo woo” for me, and I am open-minded about my clients’ views.
