My Approach

My approach to therapy is grounded, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens when clients feel safe enough to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore their experiences without judgment. Recovery is not about control or perfection, but about rebuilding trust—both within yourself and with your body.

I use an individualized approach, drawing from evidence-based practices to support clients working toward recovery. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs, goals, and readiness, while remaining rooted in the understanding that meaningful change occurs through a strong therapeutic relationship. I value transparency, curiosity, and shared decision-making, and I view therapy as a partnership rather than a directive process.

In my work with eating disorders, I focus on helping clients understand the role symptoms have played, while gently creating space for new ways of coping. Together, we explore patterns around food, body image, emotions, and self-worth, while also building practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and self-compassion. I strive to balance insight-oriented work with concrete tools that support both safety and forward movement.

I practice from a weight-inclusive, non-diet perspective that recognizes body diversity and respects each individual’s lived experience. Rather than focusing on weight or appearance, our work centers on health-promoting behaviors, emotional well-being, and restoring a more peaceful relationship with food and the body. I aim to create a space that is affirming, compassionate, and free from shame.

At Rooted Path Counseling, I aim to provide a steady, supportive space where recovery can unfold at a sustainable pace. I honor each client’s history and recognize that healing is not linear. Together, we work to strengthen your foundation, reconnect you with your body’s cues, and create a path forward rooted in nourishment, flexibility, and self-trust.
