Experience/Training:

• I’ve worked in my practice for 12 years supporting adults with food, body, anxiety and ocd struggles

• I worked with teens in foster care for 10 years before beginning my practice

• Trained by Evelyn Tribole via the Intuitive Eating Counselor certification program

• Ongoing consultation and continuing education courses around eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, body dysmorphia, and other mental health issues

• Trained by the International OCD Foundation’s (IOCDF) Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) to provide appropriate treatment for OCD

• Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance via 200 hour training with Bloom Yoga in Chicago

Facts about me: 

• I live in Chicago with my family and grew up in the suburbs of Chicago

• I love baking but not cooking (favorite thing to make: salted milk chocolate cake)

• I’m new to watercolor painting and find it both endlessly enjoyable and a frequent teacher of self-compassion

• I *love* what I do

By utilizing my experience and training, I hope to support you in connecting to the full and vibrant life you desire, free of the torment of disordered eating, body shame and anxiety/OCD. It is absolutely possible to regard yourself with kindness and to live in a way that feels good to you. I’d love to connect with you to see if we’d be a good fit and if not, to help connect you with someone else who might be.
