Struggling with body image can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. I provide compassionate therapy for women in New York, helping you cultivate body acceptance, learning to relate to your body with understanding and respect, rather than striving for forced “love” or perfection.

What to Expect in Sessions:

  • Exploring the roots of body shame and self-criticism. We’ll look at past experiences, messages from family, relationships, or culture that shaped how you see yourself. Understanding these patterns is the first step toward freeing yourself from them.

  • Shifting from judgment to body acceptance. You don’t have to force “love” for your body. Together, we’ll cultivate a sense of acceptance, respect, and care, helping you notice what your body needs and honor it without pressure.

  • Connecting with your inner self. Using IFS, we’ll help you identify the different parts of yourself—the parts that criticize, protect, or feel vulnerable—so you can create more compassion and understanding toward your body and emotions.

  • Processing difficult experiences safely. With EMDR, we can gently work through past traumas or emotional triggers that impact your body image, helping you feel lighter and more grounded in your present body.

  • Building self-compassion and resilience. You’ll learn practical ways to respond to self-criticism, cope with body-related stress, and feel more confident and aligned with yourself.

Sessions are available via secure online video, giving you flexibility and comfort while you start your journey toward body acceptance and emotional freedom.

  • Feel self-critical or disconnected from their body. You may find yourself constantly judging your appearance, comparing yourself to others, or feeling “not enough.” You want to stop the cycle of self-criticism and start noticing your body without fear or shame.

  • Struggle with the pressure to “love” your body or meet societal standards. The messages from media, culture, or even well-meaning advice can feel overwhelming. You want an approach that doesn’t demand forced positivity but instead guides you toward realistic acceptance and care for your body as it is.

  • Want to cultivate body acceptance and self-compassion. You’re ready to explore what it means to treat your body with kindness, to listen to its needs, and to respond with understanding instead of criticism.

  • Are interested in healing through EMDR, Somatic therapy, IFS, and attachment-informed therapy. You want tools and support that help you process past experiences, understand your inner parts, and create healthier relationships with yourself and your body.

This work is for anyone who’s tired of harsh self-judgment and wants to feel seen, supported, and grounded in their body, without forcing love or pretending everything is perfect
