Beaming Into the Void

In order to protect confidentiality and maintain safety for participants, group sessions are not recorded, so you will need to be present to benefit from the group discussions. If you need to miss a session, I understand that things happen sometimes. I just ask that you drop me a line and keep me in the loop.

Body changes are normal- especially as we move through the lifespan- which usually includes fluctuations in weight. We also don’t know what will happen to your weight when you give up dieting. And sometimes, even if you believe in body liberation and fat acceptance, you may still engage in intentional weight loss. There is no judgment for that here. 

When you work with me, our focus will be on shifting perspective, changing harmful and counterintuitive habits, and enhancing your quality of life. I want to emphasize that although I do not offer weight loss services, I firmly believe that body autonomy is paramount, so what you choose to do in your body is your business, no one else’s.

I do incorporate the principles of Intuitive Eating and focus on themes around food and hunger, however I am not a dietitian or nutritionist and I do not offer medical advice.

Even though I have personal experience with recovery from disordered eating, working with me is far from a bunch of “I did it, so you can too!” advice that isn’t based on scientific evidence.

There are so many factors- many out of your control- that impact health, including genetics, medical conditions, discrimination, food insecurity, and trauma. Health at Every Size®, Intuitive Eating, Body Trust®, and self-compassion have a robust research base that actually accounts for major factors like weight stigma and other forms of oppression that are completely missing from the studies we see gracing the mainstream headlines. We’ll talk all about it!

Therapy offers space to heal, process, and make meaning of emotional pain, patterns, and mental health concerns. Coaching is a collaborative, forward-looking process focused on growth, values-aligned goals, and intentional change without diagnosing or treating mental illness.

You may benefit from therapy if you’re seeking support with trauma, emotional distress, or mental health symptoms. Coaching may be a good fit if you’re feeling generally stable and want support with clarity, accountability, life transitions, or creating change aligned with your values.

I am able to provide therapy to folks who live in the state of RI, where I am licensed, and can provide therapeutic coaching to folks living everywhere else. 

No. If you are experiencing a mental health or medical emergency, please contact emergency services in your area.

While everyone who could benefit from this work is welcome, it is best that folks who are medically unstable or are consistently in acute crisis seek emergency-based care. If you are currently suffering/actively recovering from an eating disorder, please consult with your medical provider/team prior to working with me to determine whether outpatient services are appropriate. If you have questions about your particular situation, I’ll be happy to share my recommendation as to whether my services are right for you at this time.

Unfortunately, while health insurance can reimburse for therapy, it does not currently reimburse for coaching services. On the plus side, taking insurance out of the equation allows me to offer equity pricing and to focus 100% of my time and energy on client care. I can provide documentation (superbills) for you to submit for out-of-network insurance reimbursement on your own, if requested.

A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available in the spirit of collective care. If you need one, contact me.

To preserve the integrity of the group, all group program enrollments are final. If there are extenuating circumstances, reach out and we can discuss.

In an effort to make myself accessible to anyone anywhere, all sessions with me are conducted virtually.

If you are seeking a weight-loss program, you won’t find it here. But if you are genuinely curious and looking to ask more questions, great! You may not feel fully on-board with anti-diet concepts yet, and that makes sense. There’s a lot of unlearning to do!

If you are uncertain, book a free discovery call with me and I'll be happy to help you decide.
