Frequently Asked Questions
1
Are you the right therapist for me?
Our sessions may be helpful if you: Experience judgment or shame related to your body size, feel exhausted by lifelong cycles of dieting and weight preoccupation, struggle with the belief that thinness is a prerequisite for happiness, feel out of touch with your body’s natural signals of hunger, avoid life experiences or medical care due to weight-related anxiety, seek a supportive space where weight loss is not the primary focus, or are ready to explore a life defined by something other than body shame.
I also help clients manage anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship concerns, and parenting concerns.
2
If I'm seeking help for anxiety or depression, is this the right place?
Yes! Body image does not need to be your main concern. My approach to therapy helps clients explore anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders in the full context of their lives, including the cultural pressures and personal experiences that shape how we see ourselves. I also work with clients experiencing grief, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
3
Will you help me lose weight?
I do not offer weight-loss treatment, but I will not judge you for wanting to lose weight. Rather, we will work to understand where your desire for weight loss comes from, how it affects your life, and whether there may be another path toward peace, care, and self-trust.
4
What if I am taking or considering a GLP-1 medication?
You are welcome here. This is not a space where you will be judged for your choices. We can explore your relationship with your body, food, health, and self-worth whether or not GLP-1 medications are part of your life.
The focus is on helping you make sense of your experiences with compassion and without shame.
5
I'm worried about my child. Can you help?
Yes! I support parents who are worried about their child’s weight and want to respond in a way that protects their child’s health, confidence, and emotional well-being.
I help parents move away from shame-based comments about weight, food, and exercise, and toward a more supportive, connected, and body-respecting approach.

How much do you charge and do you accept insurance?
The fee for a 90-minute initial consultation is $300. Individual therapy sessions are $250 for 50 minutes. Group therapy sessions are 90 minutes and are $50 per session.
​
In order to best support my clients and allow therapy to progress at a pace and duration that is most beneficial to them, I am not paneled with insurance. However, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Equity pricing is available for clients who need it.
