It's difficult to put into words all that recovery has brought me, but I am especially grateful for the opportunity to draw from my experience and training to work as a coach. It is such an honor to guide clients along their journey of healing and discovery and to witness their strength, resilience, and transformation.

 

For three decades I struggled with some manifestiation of an eating disorder--anorexia, bulimia, and various disordered behaviors. I spent years filled with shame and self-loathing. Recovery changed all that in ways I never could have imagined. The insights and tools you acquire in recovery profoundly change how you show up for yourself and the world around you.

 

Through sharing my story and the knowledge and insights I was learning along the way, I discovered a passion for helping others find their unique path from suffering to freedom. I waited until I was secure in my own recovery before pursuing my coaching training and certification through The Carolyn Costin Institute. It is a rigorous, in-depth program of study and examinations culminating in direct supervision hours under Carolyn Costin.

 

Recovering in a culture that normalizes disordered eating is difficult and often confusing. As a coach, I am here for you with compassion and without judgement to help you navigate the day-to-day aspects of recovery. Our work together is collaborative and honors your unique journey. I aim to meet you wherever you are in your recovery and help you take the steps necessary to push through fear and doubt and find a way toward envisioning and creating a meaningful life outside of your eating disorder.

 

In my free time, if I’m not curled up with a book and my two rescue cats, Philo and Sappho, I can be found writing, dreaming up travel plans and excursions to art galleries or the theater, walking in nature, rolling out the mat for a gentle yoga class, or catching up with friends.
