Body Image Counseling

Find joy in your today body.

Your body has changed, and it’s hard to adjust. The clothes you wore last season no longer fit, and getting dressed feels like a battle. You want to crawl under the covers and hide from the world.

It’s common for all of us to struggle with body image, even if eating isn’t an issue. Society’s impossible beauty standards are constantly shifting, and your body may have been scrutinized and criticized for years, leaving you feeling disconnected and discouraged.

But here’s the good news: you don’t need to change your body to feel better in it.

  • Almost being late for work because you’re changing outfits multiple times

  • Cancelling plans because you’re self-conscious about your body

  • Picking yourself apart in the mirror (or avoiding mirrors altogether)

  • Hiding your body in oversized clothes

  • Avoiding being in photos

  • Worrying that you won’t be loved or accepted in the body you have now

Do any of these sound familiar?

You are not alone.

In a world where children as young as 3 worry about “being fat,” and 61% of adults feel “negative or very negative” about their bodies, it’s clear that body image struggles affect us all.

But your goal doesn’t have to be to love your body. Maybe you’d rather focus on body acceptance or neutrality—reaching a place where your body doesn’t define your worth or stop you from living fully. We can work toward that.

I work from a weight-neutral, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach, which means we’ll focus on finding peace with your body as it is right now, without needing to conform to society's standards. HAES is about promoting health and well-being in all bodies, regardless of size.

I’ll never shy away from the hard conversations about body image and your experiences. Together, we’ll sit with the grief of the body you wished you had. And when you’re ready, I’ll walk alongside you as you take small steps toward peace and acceptance in the body you have now. You are already worthy of love, joy, and acceptance.

Dear reader in a larger body,

I understand that body acceptance might be more challenging for you due to the harsh, unfair realities of living in anti-fat society.

Society often judges and excludes people based on their size, and I recognize that you may be seeking body changes for reasons such as accessing healthcare, fitting in airplane seats, finding clothes that fit, or avoiding judgment.

As a straight-sized person who doesn’t share your lived experience, I will never tell you whether or not you should try to lose weight. What I can offer is a safe space for you to explore peace and healing in the body you have now, while respecting your personal journey. I’ve seen people experience deeper peace and self-acceptance in their current bodies, and I’d be honored to help you do the same.
