Approach to care

Experience in disordered eating and body image issues enables her to help you get to the root of why you have been dieting and struggling with food and how you view yourself, and empower you to help change your behaviors and thoughts about body image and your eating habits. Kelly strives to provide a supportive, empathetic environment, with a little bit of fun, to enable you to feel comfortable and open during your sessions to elicit the most change possible. She believes in a meet-you-where-you-are approach, making small changes over time to help sustainably change behaviors and habits. We are all human beings just trying our best everyday, and she understands this to no end.
