Introduction
For years, I believed that being “healthy” meant being perfect—sticking to rigid rules, avoiding “bad” foods, and using willpower to control my eating. Here's what I've learned: That mindset wasn’t "healthy" at all. It was keeping me stuck and miserable. Now, as an eating disorder clinician and mindset coach, I help people break free from diet culture, all-or-nothing thinking, and food guilt—so they can build sustainable, mindful habits that actually work for them, not against them. I specialize in eating disorders, mindful eating, and sustainable health habits, using an evidence-based, compassionate approach that puts mental and physical well-being first.
