Are your struggles with food or emotions keeping you from living fully?

  • Your emotions feel overwhelming, whether it's numbness or feeling many things at once. This leaves you feeling stuck in cycles of avoidance, regret, or self-criticism. You long to feel present, but your mind is preoccupied.
  • You cope in extremes—through an eating disorder, dieting, negative self-talk, self-harming, or shutting down—but it never truly brings the relief you're looking for. Deep down, you know there is a better way.
  • No matter how much you try to "fix" or "control" your eating habits, thoughts, or emotions, it feels like you're always falling short. You crave peace with food, your body, or your mind, but it feels impossible to get there.
  • There is hope, and I can help.

Specialties

Disordered Eating

Wanting to improve your relationship with food is commendable. I provide a space free from diet culture, while also being fat-positive and HAES-aligned.

Depression

When you feel down, hopeless, or numb, therapy can help give you the tools to create a life worth living. Think of this as your new beginning.

Anxiety

Whether it's anxiety related to food, current events, or just in general, feeling anxious can take a mental and physical toll. I use a mind-body approach to help you manage the ups and downs.

And More

Including art therapy, relational concerns, stress, self-esteem, and support for loved ones. For teens and adults ages 13 to 40.

Healing doesn't have to be about becoming someone new—it's about reconnecting with yourself. At Created Self Therapy, I provide a supportive space for teens and adults ages 13 to 40. Whether you are facing an eating disorder, or feeling down, nervous, or stressed, your story and your healing matters. Using a blend of talk therapy and art therapy, I help you explore emotions, gain the skills to cope with them, build self-trust, gain clarity, and create a life worth living.
