ADHD
Life with ADHD can feel like being in a constant whirlwind. You might find it hard to focus on tasks, constantly losing track of time or getting easily distracted. Simple things like keeping organized or following through on plans can feel like uphill battles. This can be especially challenging when it comes to managing your relationship with food. You may struggle with impulsive eating, feeling overwhelmed by meal planning, or finding it hard to stick to a routine.
What To Expect:
Together, we'll work on practical skills to manage your time, stay organized, and build healthy habits around food. Imagine feeling more in control of your daily life, less overwhelmed by decisions, and more at peace with yourself.

Anxiety
Living with anxiety can feel like you're constantly on edge, with a looming sense of worry that never quite goes away. Everyday tasks can become overwhelming, as your mind races with "what ifs" and worst-case scenarios. You might struggle with physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweaty palms, or feeling short of breath, making it hard to relax and enjoy your life.
What To Expect:
We will practice a combination of mindfulness and thought-challenging skills to calm your mind, cope with stress, and regain control over your thoughts and feelings. Imagine feeling more at ease in your daily life, able to face challenges with confidence, and finding moments of peace amidst the chaos.

Depression
Struggling with depression can feel like you're stuck in a fog of sadness and hopelessness that makes it hard to see a way forward. Everyday activities can become exhausting, and finding motivation might feel impossible. You might experience changes in your sleep or appetite, and even things you once enjoyed can seem meaningless. For some, depression can also affect your relationship with food, leading to overeating for comfort or losing interest in meals altogether.
What To Expect:
I will help you explore the root causes for depression and introduce strategies to help improve your mood and rebuild your motivation. Imagine feeling more hopeful, finding joy in activities again, and having a balanced approach to meals.
-
Eating Disorders & Body Image
Going through life with an eating disorder and body image issues can feel like living with an invisible, relentless critic. You might find yourself constantly scrutinizing every bite, feeling guilty over meals, or battling negative thoughts about your appearance. These struggles can be exhausting and make it hard to find joy in everyday life.
What To Expect:
Together, we'll work on understanding the function of disordered behaviors and beliefs and go over practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts, develop a balanced approach to eating, and cultivate body tolerance and respect. Rather than forcing positivity, we'll focus on fostering genuine acceptance and understanding of your body by discovering self-worth based on things that go beyond numbers.

PTSD & Trauma
Living with PTSD or trauma can feel like you're constantly reliving the worst moments of your life. Flashbacks, nightmares, and intense anxiety can make it hard to feel safe and present in the world around you. You might find yourself avoiding certain places or situations, feeling on edge, or struggling to trust others. These experiences can be overwhelming and isolating, making it difficult to enjoy life and connect with loved ones.
What To Expect:
With the utmost warmth and compassion, I will help you process and heal from these painful experiences. We will challenge fears and beliefs that are stopping you from living the life you want, as well as practice coping strategies to manage triggers, reduce anxiety, and rebuild a sense of safety and trust with yourself and others.

Relationships
Struggling with social anxiety, loneliness, or feeling like an outsider can make it incredibly difficult to build meaningful connections. You might find yourself constantly second-guessing interactions, fearing judgment from others, or feeling left out in social situations. This can lead to a deep sense of dissatisfaction and isolation, making it hard to see yourself as “good enough.”
What To Expect:
I will help you develop the confidence and skills needed to navigate social situations and build stronger connections. Together, we'll work on practical strategies to manage anxiety, improve communication, and foster genuine relationships. Imagine feeling more at ease in social settings, connecting with others without fear, and enjoying deeper, more fulfilling relationships.
