MY JOURNEY
I know this pain
from the inside
My Journey
I didn't come to this work through a textbook. I came to it through my own life — through the kind of pain that doesn't have easy words, and the long, humbling process of finding my way through it.
There was a time when I understood from the inside what it means to be at war with yourself. To wake up exhausted by thoughts you didn't choose, to reach for things that numbed the ache, to not fully understand why closeness felt so dangerous or why you kept abandoning yourself in the very moments you needed yourself most.
Healing wasn't a straight line for me. It was slow, and sometimes bewildering, and it asked me to go to places I had spent years learning to avoid. But on the other side of that willingness was something I hadn't expected: the ability to feel at home in my own body, in my own life, in my own skin — perhaps for the first time.
What I found in my own healing is what I now offer to others: not answers, but accompaniment — and the deep conviction that you are not broken. You adapted. And you can heal.
It was that experience — of how great the pain truly is, and how transformative it is to finally be free of it — that made me want to become a therapist. I couldn't stand the thought of people living their whole lives carrying what I had carried, especially when I knew that another way was possible.
A WORD ABOUT FOOD, BODY & WORTH
If you've been fighting your body for years, this is for you.
I work with many people who have spent years — sometimes decades — caught in cycles of dieting, restricting, overeating, and starting over. Who have made their worth conditional on a number on a scale. Who have tried every plan, every program, and still find themselves back at the beginning, more exhausted and more ashamed than before.
What I want you to know is this: that cycle is not a character flaw. It is not a lack of discipline. It is a symptom — of early wounds, of a nervous system that learned to use food and control of the body as a way to manage pain that had nowhere else to go.
The body is not the problem. The body has been telling a story the whole time. Our work together is to learn to listen to it — with compassion rather than contempt. And if something on this page has resonated with you, I would be glad to hear from you.
A free consultation call is a good place to start. It's a conversation — nothing more.
Come as you are, bring your questions.
