What might be possible if you didn’t have to cope with life,

and instead, reclaimed your life?

 

I offer virtual, 1:1 coaching to clients who struggle with any (or all!) of the following:

​

• Drinking that has become unmanageable or is impacting your quality of life

• Being stuck in cycles of binging and restricting food

• Dieting or exercise that never seems to change the underlying insecurities and fears

• Rejecting diet and/or drinking culture not just intellectually, but in a way you can feel, believe, and embody

 

In other words, I support people whose ways of coping may have served them in the past, but are no longer in alignment with their values.

​

Why Recovery Coaching?

​

Many of us know that something isn’t right for us long before we actually make the change.

 

That’s not because we lack willpower or discipline. It’s because a familiar discomfort, however painful it may be, is often experienced in our bodies as a kind of safety.

 

As a coach, my job isn’t to push you to the point of feeling unsafe, or to shame you into different behaviors. Changing you isn’t the goal if the change is motivated by shame. I’m here to support your healing, on your own terms.

 

When you’re ready, you can put down the old tools that no longer serve you, and find new ones, to build a life that reflects who you really are and what you value.

​

But swimming upstream — both against a culture that normalizes drinking and shrinking and numbing out, as well as the conditioning that has made these coping tools a vital part of your survival — can bring up a lot of emotions, fears, and old stories.

​

In our work together, I’m jumping right into the waters with you. We’ll honor your emotions, confront your fears, and rewrite the old scripts that hold you back.

​

 

Imagine a life where…

• You feel so at ease with yourself, you no longer feel the urge to check out

• You discover your humor and ability to connect with others weren’t just the booze — they were YOU all along

• You can be with difficult and painful emotions without needing to escape them

• You no longer wake up feeling ashamed, embarrassed, or full of self-loathing because of the night before

• You can step back into the driver’s seat of your life, fully trusting yourself and your body

 

I used to think these things sounded too good to be true. But I’ve had the privilege of experiencing this firsthand, both in my own journey and alongside my clients.

​

As an experienced and certified recovery coach, I believe with the right support, healing isn’t just possible — it’s inevitable.

What certifications or training do you have?

​

​In addition to my lived experience, I am a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, Certified Diet Recovery Coach, Certified Weight Neutral Coach, Certified Professional Coach, and Certified Peer Counselor. I am also both trauma-informed and IFS-informed, and am currently pursuing a Body Trust® Certification to deepen my learning.

 

As a Certified Professional Recovery Coach and Certified Peer Counselor, I am trained to support clients recovering from alcohol and substance use, using a strength-based, stigma-free approach that puts the person at the center of their recovery.

 

As a Certified Weight Neutral Coach, I am trained to support clients facing a variety of body image concerns, as well as the additional systemic challenges faced by clients of size.

 

As a Certified Diet Recovery Coach, I am trained to work with clients who are struggling to let go of diet mentality, diet-binge cycling, restrictive behaviors around food, and other eating-related challenges.

 

As a Certified Professional Coach, I am trained to partner with clients in moving from their present situation to a future they desire – one that is aligned with their personal motivations and values.

 

I have over 2,500 hours of professional training. That said, I view all accreditation with a critical eye, and believe my clients are ultimately the experts on their own experience.

 

​

 

Do you follow a 12-step approach?

​

​I do not personally follow a 12-Step approach. My approach is holistic (it takes into account the whole human, and the separate but interconnected aspects of your life), and individualized (tailored to you and your unique circumstances).

 

That said, if you are following or want to also follow a 12-Step (or any other) approach, there is no reason you can’t do so at the same time we work together.

​

Be honest: Is this going to be hard?

​

Trying to do anything new or different can be challenging! With clients, I find that some aspects of this work end up being easier than they expected, while other parts may be a little tougher than they imagined.

 

But that said, trying to guess how you may or may not feel isn’t necessarily helpful. A more useful question might be, “Will this be worth it?”

​

What if I fail at this?

​

I’ve got good news for you: You can’t fail at this! You really can’t. Even if you start and stop one or more times. Even if things get worse before they get better. Even if you change your mind or take a detour.

 

Because this is a process, not an end goal, and you simply can’t fail at a process. By definition, it is always unfolding.

 

And anything that happens along the way can be used to propel you forward — it’s information that helps you decide what happens next. With the right support, that information can unlock amazing transformation and growth, even if it’s two steps back before you get to take three steps forward.

​

Can we only talk about drinking or dieting? Can we work on other things?

 

Absolutely! I've supported people around coming out later in life, aging, grief, and a host of other areas. SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) defines recovery as "A process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential."

 

This is about addressing anything that is keeping you from being engaged with, and enjoying, your life.​​
