Services

While we specialize in Eating Disorders and Body Image, Courage Counseling treats a variety of mental health concerns at Courage Counseling.

How We Help

Eating Disorders

I provide therapeutic support to those struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating behaviors and body image. I take a HAES (Health At Every Size) approach which welcomes people of body sizes. Your body does not define your struggle or your health. Through this lens we will focus on finding food freedom and peace in your body. 

Additionally, I work with athletes experiencing difficulty managing their relationship to food, body, and sport. I take a whole-person approach to address all areas which may be impacting your performance. The goal when working with an athlete is to take the stress out of eating which allows them to experience the benefits of an adequately fueled body. 

With all clients, I work toward building trust in both their body and self.

Individual Therapy

In addition to specialized treatment for eating disorders and sports performance, I provide therapy services to those struggling with life transitions, anxiety, and perfectionistic tendencies. I work with the client to develop a treatment plan which will best address their concerns. As with all my services, this is a collaborative effort between therapist and client. 

I have specialized training in RO-DBT, EMDR, CBT and ACT.  All of which are utilized in the treatment process based on the clients response and preferences.

Speaking/Educational Events

I am available for education and speaking events related to eating disorders treatment, prevention of eating disorders, body image and sport performance.
