Why I started this work
When I work with people with diabetes, I see how hard it can be — not just with the numbers, but with food, body image, and the shame that so often comes along for the ride. Many of my clients have been told to “just eat less” or “try harder,” and over time that kind of messaging can chip away at confidence and joy.
I started this practice to do things differently. I wanted to create a space where people feel seen, respected, and supported as whole human beings. My goal is to provide compassionate, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed care that helps you care for your health while healing your relationship with food.
How to get started:
Step 1: Free Phone Consult
Let’s chat! Schedule a free 15 min phone call with a member of our team so we can talk through your concerns, match you with a clinician who will be a great fit, and answer any questions you have.
Step 2: Initial Assessment
Our first appointment together (75-90 min) is a chance for us to get to know each other better! We’ll take a deep dive into your past and present relationship with food, your body, and your diabetes care. We will explore what type of support you need to meet your goals, answer your questions, and establish a plan for moving forward.
Step 3: Follow Up Care
Follow up sessions (50 min) are where we’ll do the hard work together. During these appointments, we will reflect on progress, celebrate wins, and unpack struggles to help you move toward a healthier relationship with food, your body, and your diabetes care. We will provide you with tools, education, and structure to support you through the inevitable ups and downs of this journey.
