Mental health information and encouragement for recovery from eating and body image issues.

-Personal Insight
-Self-Exploration
-Problem Solving
-Recovery Support
-Spiritual Development
-Emotional Skills & Growth
-Relationship Awareness & Skills
-Work-life balance
-Communication skills
-Flexibility and freedom from perfectionism & people pleasing
-Assertiveness
-Lifestyle changes
-Motivation
-Values-driven action
-Mindfulness

People come to counseling and coaching for many reasons but some of the issues that my clients have addressed with me include:
-Eating Disorders, emotional eating and disordered eating
-Mindful Eating & Intuitive Eating
-Weight management
-Over-exercise, exercise addiction, and exercise aversion
-Anxiety related eating concerns, e.g. OCD, rigid eating, rule-based eating, fear of food
-Relationship difficulties
-Career choices, transitions and struggles
-Life transitions, loss or grief
-Parenting - especially related to food behaviors and the family food system
-Spiritual exploration and/or spiritual struggles

Some cookies are for website performance. Others are for ✨emotional support✨ 🍪

A little reminder that food can be comforting, fun, delicious, and just food. No earning, no guilt, just enjoying the cookie.

Two things can be true.

You can be grateful for your life and still be having a really hard time. You can love where you are and still wish something were different. You can recognize the good without needing to minimize what hurts.

Gratitude doesn’t require us to ignore the hard parts. And struggling doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful.

Sometimes holding both is the most honest way to be.

When your brain has 47 tabs open and you’re somehow expected to keep functioning like everything is fine.

A little reminder that you don’t always need to do more to feel better. Sometimes the most helpful thing is to pause, lower the expectations, and give your brain a chance to catch up.

Take a breath. Get some water. Eat something. Write it down. Pick one thing. Do less.

You’re not failing because you’re overwhelmed. Your brain might just be asking for a little less right now.

Your body is not a project you need to complete before you’re allowed to live your life.

You don’t need to shrink, change, tone, fix, or “get back to” anything before you deserve to take up space, wear the outfit, go to the beach, be in the photos, or simply exist.

Your body is your body - not a before photo, not a progress report, and not proof of how “well” you’re doing.

Consider this your reminder to stop waiting for a different body to start living in the one you have.

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you need to “get it together.” You might just be tired.

When everything feels irritating, small tasks feel impossible, and your emotional bandwidth is somewhere around 2%, it might be time to pause instead of pushing yourself harder.

You don’t always need a new routine, a new mindset, or a complete personality overhaul. Sometimes you need a meal, a nap, some fresh air, a little less screen time, a good cry, or an evening where you don’t have to accomplish anything.

Rest isn’t something you have to earn by reaching your breaking point.

Consider this your reminder to check in with yourself before deciding you’re the problem.

Sometimes we can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone.

Real connection asks us to take a little bit of a risk; to let ourselves be known, to share what’s actually going on beneath the surface, and to allow others to show up for us.

Vulnerability can feel uncomfortable (and honestly, a little scary), but it’s often what creates the space for deeper, more meaningful connection.

✨ Meet Taylor! ✨

We’re so excited to officially welcome Taylor to the DCA team as one of our LPC Associates!

Taylor actually started his journey with us as an intern, and we’re so happy to have him back - this time as a clinician! We love getting to watch our interns grow into confident, compassionate therapists, and Taylor is such a special example of that.

Taylor works with adults and specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, relationships, attachment, grief, and self-esteem. His approach is warm, down-to-earth, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves, build healthier relationships, and create meaningful change.

We’re so lucky to have Taylor back at DCA!

Changing your mind isn’t being inconsistent, it’s what happens when you grow, learn, and see things differently.

You’re allowed to update your perspective when you have new information. You don’t owe anyone loyalty to an old version of yourself.
