If any of these resonate with you…
-You have negative thoughts about your body that can completely wreck your mood and deplete your confidence
-You’re exhausted from yo-yo dieting, obsessing about and feeling out of control around food, and have tried “all the things” (including therapy in the past), but can’t seem to stop the restrict/binge cycle
-You’re a mom struggling in your postpartum period- working through birth trauma, adjustment to motherhood, postpartum body image, not feeling like yourself, missing your life before, anxious, empty, experiencing overwhelming and unwanted thoughts, filled with self-doubt, or like you’re not enjoying motherhood how you hoped and dreamed you would

-You’re going through pregnancy loss or pregnancy anxiety after loss, and it’s affecting your mental health, but no one really “gets it”.
-You’re a college student or recent grad who is struggling with what comes next?, stress of balancing it all (school, job, friends, relationship, self-care), anxiety about the future, moving back home, etc.
-Your people-pleasing or perfectionistic tendencies are getting in the way of relationships and living the life you want
-You’re the parent of a teen who is struggling to deal with their mood (anxiety, depression), stress, or relationship with food, and you want them to have someone they can learn to trust and professionally work through these challenges with
