When food, exercise, and weight take up way too much space in your head
Struggles with nutrition, fitness, or weight rarely stay “just physical.” They seep into your thoughts, your mood, your relationships — and how you feel about yourself.
Maybe you’re disciplined, knowledgeable, and doing all the “right” things — yet still frustrated, stuck, or ashamed.
Maybe food feels charged with rules, guilt, or loss of control.
Maybe the scale has far more power over your confidence than you’d like to admit.
And the most exhausting part?
You feel like you should be able to manage this — but no matter how hard you try, the cycle keeps repeating.
You’re not failing.
And you don’t have to keep fighting your body or your mind to feel okay.
Why Work with Me?
I love partnering with adults to navigate nutrition, fitness, and weight concerns through a therapeutic lens — without turning therapy into a diet plan or a motivational lecture.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I focus on the emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns underneath food and body struggles. Because lasting change doesn’t come from more rules — it comes from understanding what’s actually driving the behavior.
My style is direct, solution-focused, and grounded in real life. I use humor intentionally — because when your brain turns one missed workout or off-plan meal into a personal failure, a grounded perspective can be incredibly regulating.
I also offer virtual therapy across multiple states, which means you’re not limited to a single brick-and-mortar office with rigid scheduling. Therapy should fit into your life — not become another thing you have to manage perfectly.
The Pain Points My Clients Face
Clients who seek therapy for nutrition, fitness, and weight concerns often describe:
- Cycles of restriction, overeating, guilt, or “starting over”
- Using food or exercise to manage stress, anxiety, or emotions
- Feeling disconnected from hunger, fullness, or body cues
- Perfectionism and self-criticism tied to body image or performance
- Letting weight or appearance dictate self-worth
- Burnout from trying to “fix” themselves
The unifying thread isn’t a lack of willpower.
It’s a strained relationship with yourself — your body, your emotions, and your internal expectations — that keeps these patterns locked in place.
How I Help You GROW
In therapy for nutrition, fitness, and weight concerns, we focus on the patterns behind the behaviors — not just the behaviors themselves.
Together, you’ll learn how to:
- Understand emotional triggers without shame or self-blame
- Regulate stress so food and exercise aren’t your only coping tools
- Break free from all-or-nothing thinking around eating and fitness
- Rebuild trust with your body instead of constantly battling it
- Develop sustainable habits aligned with your values — not fear or pressure
You’ll leave sessions with insight and practical tools — strategies you can use immediately to change how you relate to food, movement, and yourself.
What It’s Like to Work with Me
Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and grounded.
I’m not here to shame you into “trying harder,” and I’m not here to let you stay stuck in the same loops either. I’ll challenge patterns when needed, help you slow down when things feel overwhelming, and support you in making meaningful changes that actually last.
You can expect:
- Straightforward conversations without therapy fluff
- Tools that translate into real-world change
- Compassion balanced with accountability
- Humor and perspective — because this work is serious, but it doesn’t have to be heavy all the time
At its core, this work is about helping you stop fighting yourself — and start working with yourself.
Ready to Change Your Relationship With Food, Fitness, and Yourself?
You don’t need another plan.
You don’t need more discipline.
You need support that helps you understand what’s really going on — and how to move forward differently.
That’s why I offer a free Discovery Call. No pressure, no commitment — just a chance to see if this approach feels like the right fit.
When your relationship with yourself begins to shift, everything else — nutrition, fitness, confidence, and connection — can shift too.
