We’ll explore the roots of your anxiety, develop coping skills, and find ways to bring more calm and balance into your life. It’s about creating a toolkit that empowers you to face daily challenges with confidence.
Eating Disorders and Body Image Support
In a world where body image can be so fraught, it’s essential to find support that feels compassionate and understanding. If you’re struggling with an eating disorder or negative body image, know that you’re not alone. I offer a space to talk about your experiences openly, without judgment. Together, we’ll work towards nurturing a healthier relationship with food and your body, helping you to embrace your true self.
