In-Person Therapy in Boulder, CO, and Online Therapy in Colorado and MN
It’s time to Feel Comfortable In Your Own Skin.
Let me guess…
You’ve never really felt like you were good enough…
You’re doing okay on the outside, but inside, you’re tired of trying to hold it all together….
Maybe you’re just feeling so tired of feeling so overwhelmed in your daily life...
Or, perhaps you see your little one watching you looking at yourself in the mirror, and you’re starting to worry if you’re going to impact their own feelings about their body.
You may be you just f*cking hate dieting but you feel like you have to. You don’t know how to tell when you are actually hungry or full. You can’t trust yourself…
Or, you’re just sick of looking in the mirror and being so critical of yourself and your body…. but you don’t know how to stop.
Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:
You find yourself unable to choose an outfit or do your make-up without needing to change things up a million times.
Thinking… “ I’m so ugly….how could anyone think I’m attractive?”
You struggle to feel connected to your body and don’t know when you’re hungry or full…
You find yourself stressed after a long day and just end up eating food that doesn’t feel good, or drinking more than feels good.
You’re noticing that the stress of being so self-critical is impacting your ability to focus..
You’re spacing out at work, school, or with your family…and even during things you love. And, yeah, even driving! I see you. You don’t even remember getting from point A to point B! Yikes.

Life can feel different than the way it does today.

FAQS
What others have wondered about therapy for body image healing.
-
In mindfulness-based, body-centered therapy sessions for body image, I guide clients to cultivate present-moment awareness of their bodies. We explore sensations, emotions, and thoughts related to body image without judgment. Mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing and body scans, are integrated to foster self-compassion. The focus is on building a positive and accepting relationship with the body, promoting self-awareness and resilience in navigating body image challenges.
-
We live in a society where unrealistic standards are constantly portrayed in media and create a sense of insecurity. However, it is possible to love your body and have an intuitive relationship with food. People who have a positive body image typically understand how culture or past experiences get in the way of developing body positivity and know how to move forward. Therapy can help you learn adequate skills, develop fulfilling relationships, and build solid confidence—the essentials for combating issues with body image and appearance.
-
Many people with issues about their body and appearance feel trapped and have a hard time believing that changes are possible. Making matters worse, not having other tools to cope with difficult emotions and challenges also makes you more vulnerable to emotional eating.
Whatever your situation may be or how stuck you feel, therapy can provide a non-judgmental space for us to understand the root of your challenges, identify what’s been keeping you stuck, and develop an actionable plan to make lasting changes. We will work together to help you develop intuitive habits, enhance your body image, and improve your overall quality of life.
-
Feeling disconnected from your body often arises from a rupture in the mind-body connection, commonly linked to stress, trauma, or overwhelming emotions. In mindfulness-based psychotherapy, this disconnection might stem from a lack of present-moment awareness or unresolved psychological stress that create a split between thoughts and physical sensations. By cultivating mindfulness, you can gradually foster a deeper connection with your body, learning to observe sensations without judgment and integrating the mind and body, allowing for a more balanced and grounded experience of yourself.
