Meet your Guide

I have helped hundreds of people overcome eating disorders, trauma, and adversity to find happiness, healing, and confidence. I have journeyed with individuals to replace self-harming behaviors, overcome disordered eating, improve self-esteem, and find self-worth.

In addition to my formal education my personal experience helps me relate on a level of ‘knowing’ what you are going through. Several years were spent as being consumed with eating and body image a fitness professional.

I was a member of the team that developed the eating disorder program at Timberline Knolls. My experience includes working with individuals dealing with eating disorders in inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings.

I take a non-diet, intuitive eating, and Health At Every Size approach.

…Recovery Academy?

  • There may be a few different reasons you want to take this course:

    1 . You are in treatment for an eating disorder and are wanting more support and community as you recover.

    2. You see a therapist or you feel your mental health is managed but you are wanting more support to let go of the diet and body obsessions and concern

    3. You have an eating disroder and are not able to access additional eating disorder treatment or support.

    4. You believe you have disordered eating and believe it impacts your life and you are wanting a space deal and learn to embrace you without all the food and body concerns.

  • No and it is OK if you do. This is a great resource for someone really motivated in their recovery and wanting to focus on dealing so if you have a therapist or were previously engaged in a program this is a great supplement for you.

  • This is NOT a therapy group and I will not diagnose you. I am not here to treat you either so it is OK if you are NOT in treatment or have NOT been diagnosed with an eating disorder. This program is designed to help anyone learn to ditch dieting messages, learn to feel self empowered and confident, and how to deal with emotions using mindfulness and sustainable mental health tools to support your healthy lifestyle - without ever having to change your body....
