Counseling for Disordered Eating, Body Image, and Worthiness Wounds
Own your worth. Walk in grace.
Hi there! I’m Allison.
Whether you’re sick and tired of hustling for self-worth (e.g., through perfectionism, people pleasing), fighting with food, or hating your body, you’re not alone.
I spent over a decade trying to fit the mold of “good enough,” be it through changing my body, performance, or personality. Now, I’m committed to helping you climb out of your own “pit of despair” (The Princess Bride, anyone?) and reclaim your time, energy, and peace so you can live with greater freedom and purpose.
My clients have ditched the rulebook of “shoulds” and heavy expectations.
Many are now setting boundaries, eating without guilt, giving themselves grace… Wild things that you can do too if you’re ready. Read on for some areas we could tackle together.
Spotlight Areas/Specialties
Your life seems to revolve around avoiding food, overeating, or both. It’s a shameful dance of fleeting victories and paying penance to the scale god for yet another diet failure. Therapy can help you reclaim your life from disordered eating, whether it’s a clinical eating disorder or unhelpful pattern.
It’s so hard to say no or ask for what you need without feeling rude or selfish. But always prioritizing others’ approval has left you exhausted—and sometimes resentful. You can care for others and set boundaries! Let’s work together to find that balance and give you the freedom to be yourself.
Whether it’s a recent body change or a lifetime of being told your body is “wrong,” you can’t help thinking you’d be happier if you just looked different. What if you could stop fighting with your body and find joy in who you are now? Professional support can help you get there.
It’s all or nothing—you’re either putting things off or grinding yourself down to get things just right. One area of your life is pristine while another becomes a source of shame. Perfectionism doesn’t have to weigh you down; with practice, flexibility and self-compassion can replace the pressure.
Anxiety (e.g., worrying, social anxiety, panic attacks)
Depression
Low self-esteem (“not good enough” thoughts, feelings of worthlessness)
Relationship issues (with friends, family members, partners, etc.)
Other problems I commonly address:
Effects of past traumatic experiences (i.e., highly distressing or harmful events)
Work/school stress and burnout
Obsessive-compulsive tendencies
