Quite often disordered body image is a result of trauma. Changing our relationship to our bodies and ourselves through understanding, while leaving the protection it offers in place, goes a long way to healing the whole person.

My goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where you feel comfortable to share your concerns. Body-image concerns and body-dysmorphia can be distressing and you're not alone. Your needs are important to me and in therapy, we can explore those concerns, better understand the influences that have played a role in your experiences, and work to take your power back from distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors using strategies that genuinely resonate with you.
