I battled disordered eating throughout my childhood and adolescence. In high
school things took a turn for the worse when I decided that if I lost weight I would be
more confident in myself. That desire to find confidence became a battle with an eating
disorder that completely took over my life and my identity. No matter how much weight I lost I became more and more obsessed with food and body. The eating disorder lied to
me and told me that just a few more pounds would be the answer. In treatment I was
told I would never recover, that an eating disorder was a lifelong battle. At the time I was
somewhat resigned to this idea. I planned to go out, buy some comfy pjs, and spend my
life in the revolving door of treatment, with no hope of completely ridding myself of the
eating disorder. As time went on, I realized I wanted more from life; I decided to fight for
my own recovery. I also found a calling. I chose to dedicate my life to helping others recover from eating disorders.

Today I am fully recovered. I no longer abuse my body. I am able to eat what I want, when I want it, without obsession or guilt. I have healthy relationships in which I am truly valued, without having to my mask my authentic self. I am living a life I never thought was possible. In fact, a life I had been told wasn’t possible. As a result, I am incredibly passionate about helping others create the life they never imagined was possible.

I enjoy working with individuals and families, helping them find space to heal and
move forward. Over the last seven years I have worked in outpatient, intensive
outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential levels of care, all specializing in eating
disorders. In addition, I have experience working with addiction, depression, anxiety,
self-esteem, trauma, and body image. I am new to The Woodlands, TX, but not new to the world of mental health. I would love to meet with you and explore how we can work together towards your goals.
