Stop the War Against Your Body 

...and learn how to trust it again. 

​

Say goodbye to the food police.
Say goodbye to guilt, rules, and restriction.
No more tracking every bite or overthinking.
Break free from diets that were designed to make you feel like you’re not enough.

WhAT is
Intuitive Eating, Anyway?

We are all born intuitive eaters — until Diet Culture disrupts that natural relationship with food.

​

Using psychotherapy integrated with the 10 Principles of Intuitive Eating, I help individuals who struggle with emotional eating, loss of control, and harsh self-criticism. My work centers on helping you rebuild trust with your body and experience genuine food freedom.

​

As a weight-inclusive, non-diet practitioner, I provide a supportive framework to help you release the Thin Body Ideal, weight stigma and trauma, and cultivate a sense of comfort and belonging in your body.

Eating disorders can affect anyone — and they often go unnoticed in Black and Brown communities.

Eating disorders don’t discriminate. They impact people of all races, ethnicities, body sizes, genders, sexual orientations, faith backgrounds, and socioeconomic realities. And yet, Black and Brown communities are less likely to have their symptoms recognized, validated, or treated.

​

One of the clearest examples is atypical anorexia — where someone in a larger body exhibits the same restrictive, obsessive, and dangerous symptoms as anorexia, but gets overlooked because they don’t “look” the part. Research shows that BIPOC individuals are significantly less likely to be screened for eating disorders by medical providers, increasing the risk of suffering in silence for far longer.

​

Why are BIPOC communities at higher risk of disordered eating?

​

  • Have you ever been told to finish your plate even when you were full, because wasting food wasn’t an option in your home?​

  • Did you grow up experiencing food insecurity or limited access to fresh, nourishing foods because of financial constraints?​

  • Were you raised in a weight-centric household where unsolicited comments about body size were normalized?​

  • Have weight-related or racial microaggressions pushed you into cycles of shame, restriction, or chronic dieting as a way to cope or “prove yourself”?

​

These experiences are not personal failures — they are the byproducts of cultural messages and systemic trauma that shape how you relate to food, your body, and your worth.

​

you're in the right place. 

Your well-being is not defined by your weight. In this space, we’ll explore when and how you first learned to distrust your body—and we’ll untangle the impact of diet culture, weight stigma, and generational messages around food and body image. All of this happens in a therapeutic, judgment-free environment designed to help you move toward a healthier, more compassionate relationship with food and yourself.
