Coaching is a collaborative relationship that differs from traditional counseling. Through an anti-diet, intuitive eating lens we create structured, values-aligned goals, identify stuck patterns, and build the practical tools needed to create and sustain more supportive, life-giving patterns. Coaching can be especially helpful for those stepping down from higher levels of care who are medically stable in their recovery and looking for ongoing accountability and support as they navigate everyday life and food choices.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I’m a provisionally licensed Resident in Counseling in Virginia with extensive training in eating disorder treatment at an outpatient level. I’ve completed training as an intuitive eating counselor and I am aligned with the principles/framework of Health at Every Size (HAES).

Coaching is a supportive relationship for those in ED recovery or those who do not meet the criteria for eating disorder but experience a complicated relationship with food and body. Coaching is best suited for those who are medically stable and looking for structured guidance, practical tools, and accountability as they build intuitive, values-aligned patterns in daily life.I often work with those facing the following concerns:ED recovery | body image distress | disordered eating patterns | feeling "out of control" with food | chronic dieting | overwhelming food noise | rigid food rules | shame around food and body

Food & Body Peace offers coaching, not traditional psychotherapy. While both can be incredibly supportive, they serve different purposes. Coaching is a collaborative, forward-focused skill building process where we work together to help you build a more peaceful relationship with food, movement, and your body. We focus on understanding current patterns, challenging diet-culture beliefs, and finding practical ways to move toward your goals.Therapy focuses on mental health assessment and treatment, which may include exploring past experiences and addressing underlying psychological concerns. Coaching is not a substitute for therapy or medical care, but it can complement existing or ongoing treatment when appropriate.If you're unsure whether coaching is the right fit for you, we can talk through your unique needs and during a consultation. I am always happy to provide referrals to other providers as needed.
