I help sensitive, high-achieving women expand their emotional and relational capacity. Expressive arts and nervous system–centered therapy.

Specializing in eating disorders, identity shifts, religious trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe creative self-expression can open the door to deep healing. Through expressive arts therapy, clients learn to communicate beyond words—using art, movement, music, writing, and play to reconnect mind, body, and spirit. My work is guided by The Soul System™, a holistic framework I created that weaves expressive arts, mindfulness, and evidence-based practices such as CBT and DBT. This integrative approach helps people release trauma, build emotional resilience, and rediscover their authentic selves. I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for healing. It’s an honor to walk beside each client on their journey toward confidence, balance, and inner peace.

Something that doesn't get nearly enough attention: how often ADHD and eating disorders show up together.

Research suggests that people with ADHD are significantly more likely to develop an eating disorder — particularly binge eating disorder — than those without ADHD. And the reasons make a lot of sense when you understand how ADHD actually works.

Here's some of what creates the overlap😀
Dopamine-seeking. ADHD brains are often dopamine-deficient, and food — especially high-sugar, high-fat foods — offers a fast, reliable dopamine hit. This isn't weakness. It's neurobiology.

Impulsivity. Executive functioning challenges make it harder to pause between impulse and action. The urge to eat something feels urgent in a way that's very difficult to override.

Emotional dysregulation. ADHD often comes with intense emotional experiences and limited capacity to tolerate them. Food can become a form of emotional regulation.

Sensory sensitivities. For some women with ADHD and ARFID, sensory issues with food texture, smell, or appearance drive restriction in ways that look like "picky eating" but are much more complex.

If you've been struggling with both ADHD and your relationship with food — you're not alone, and you're not "just lacking self-control." This overlap is real and it's treatable.

I write about this in detail on the blog this month https://zurl.co/TBG1z

I’ve been quietly working on something behind the scenes, and I’m really excited to finally share it 🤍

I just released my first downloadable workbook on Etsy.

This one is all about understanding attachment styles and how your patterns show up in relationships. Not just labeling them, but actually helping you recognize your cycles and begin shifting them.

This work is at the core of what I do with clients every day. And I wanted to create something you could come back to on your own, in your own time.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking:
Why do I keep ending up in the same patterns?
Why does connection feel so hard sometimes?

This is for you.

You are not broken. You are patterned. And patterns can change.

You can find it here:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/4488055111/attachment-styles-workbook

I’ll be adding more workbooks and tools over time that support self-trust, healing, and deeper connection.

I’m really glad you’re here.

Choosing yourself isn’t always loud or celebratory.
Sometimes it’s quiet. Heavy. And long overdue.
If you’ve spent years making yourself smaller — waiting, staying, abandoning what you needed — just to keep the peace or hold something together… you know exactly what I mean.
The nervous system doesn’t release those patterns easily. They were built to protect you. And unlearning them takes time, intention, and a whole lot of grace with yourself.
So I want to ask you something:
Where in your life have you been waiting on yourself?
If this landed somewhere tender for you, I’d love to connect. A free consultation is just a conversation — no pressure, just space. Link in bio. 🤍

Something I witness in the Self Discovery Intensive that I haven't been able to stop thinking about
The moment when a woman who has been trying to explain herself — to herself, to others, maybe to previous therapists — suddenly has language for something she's been carrying for a long time.

Not because I gave her the words. Because the process did.

Here's what I mean
In the Intensive, we don't start by talking about the problem. We start by approaching it through visual processing and body-based work — images, somatic awareness, expressive approaches. Things that access what the nervous system holds, not just what the mind can articulate.

And what happens, reliably, is this: something that's been below language begins to surface. Not all at once. Not through analysis. But through the process of engaging with it in a different way.

One woman described it like this: "I came in not being able to explain where I was. I left knowing something I'd been circling my whole life."

The insight was already in her. The Intensive gave it a form — and then, a language.

This is what I designed it to do. Three focused sessions that go toward what you've been trying to name. Because some things can't be talked into clarity. They have to be found another way.

If you've been trying to understand yourself and keep running into a wall — this is for you.

The Intensive is available now. DM me or visit https://zurl.co/yGHNF to learn more.

Intensive testimonial

“This experience helped me realize that healing is not something outside of me… it lives within me.

I learned that if I give myself the space, my body and mind will show me exactly what I need. That was one of the most powerful parts of this process.

Nothing felt forced. I never felt like I had to perform or do anything a certain way. I was able to move at my own pace and trust myself in a way I haven’t before.

Some of the work was uncomfortable at times, but in a way that felt safe and necessary. It allowed me to connect more deeply with myself and understand what I’ve been holding.

I’m leaving this experience feeling good… more open, more aware, and more connected to myself.

This work meets you exactly where you are and helps you come back to yourself in a way that feels real.“
You want to go deeper and not have to use words and let your body share its wisdom then you need my Self Discovery intensive!!!

Is your relationship with food causing you stress, guilt, or confusion?

Not sure if what you're experiencing "counts" as a problem?

I put together a free quiz on my website — "Is My Relationship With Food Normal? " — to help you get clear on what you're experiencing, without judgment.

This isn't a diagnosis. It's a starting point. A way to take what's been living in the background and look at it more clearly.

Take the quiz at the link below. And if what you find feels significant — reach out. That's what I'm here for.

A bad body day isn't a truth about your body.

It's information about your nervous system.

What you're experiencing when you look in the mirror and hate what you see — that's not an accurate assessment. That's a filter. Made of stress, fatigue, comparison, something someone said, something you ate, something you haven't processed yet.

Your body didn't get worse overnight.

On a bad body day, you don't have to love your body. You don't have to feel grateful or at peace or any of the things the wellness world tells you to feel.

You just have to treat it like it's still yours.

Feed it anyway. Rest it anyway. Move it gently if that helps, or don't move it at all if it doesn't.

And know that what you're seeing in those moments is not the whole story.

💛 Save this for when you need it.

"Just eat normally."

If you've heard this — from a doctor, a family member, a partner, maybe even yourself — I want to name how harmful that four-word sentence actually is.

Eating disorders are not a choice. They are not a phase. They are not a matter of willpower or discipline or "just deciding to be different."

For someone in the grip of an eating disorder, the brain has been fundamentally altered. Restriction, bingeing, purging, rigid rules about food — these become grooved neural pathways. The eating disorder isn't a bad habit to be broken. It's a deeply embedded pattern that requires real, specialized support to shift.

"Just eating normally" would require that person to have a normal relationship with food — which is the very thing the disorder dismantled.

Telling someone with an eating disorder to "just eat normally" is like telling someone with a broken leg to just walk it off. The instruction isn't wrong because they're not trying. It's wrong because the tool required to follow it isn't available to them right now.

They need something else. They need someone who understands what's actually happening.

If you're navigating this — or loving someone who is — there's better help available.

Body image isn't really about your body.

It's about what you've been taught your body means.

Every message you absorbed growing up about what bodies should look like, what they should do, what they deserve.

How much of your self-worth got attached to how you look — and how exhausting it is to live inside that.

Healing body image isn't about learning to love your body every day (that's a lot of pressure).

It's about loosening the grip that appearance has over how you feel about yourself.

It's about being able to inhabit your body without it being a constant source of criticism.

That kind of healing is possible — and it's what I work toward with women every day.

I offer body image therapy in Charlotte, NC and virtually across North Carolina. Free consultation → link in bio.

It's the first week of spring.

And maybe you feel the pressure to feel renewed, motivated, lighter.

But what if you don't?

What if spring just feels like... another season arriving while you're still carrying the same weight?

That's okay.

Healing doesn't follow the calendar. Growth doesn't always look like blooming.

Sometimes it looks like staying. Showing up. Still being here, even when it's hard.

That counts too. 💛

Eating disorders are rarely about food.

That can be hard to understand from the outside.

But underneath the food rules, the restriction, the bingeing — there's almost always something else.

A desperate need for control in a life that felt uncontrollable.
A way of coping with emotions that felt too big to hold.
A body that absorbed what the mind couldn't process.

This is why "just eat" doesn't work.

Recovery isn't just about food — it's about learning to feel safe in your body, to trust yourself, to find other ways to hold the hard stuff.

If you're in a complicated relationship with food and your body, you deserve support that goes deeper than meal plans.

I specialize in eating disorder therapy in Charlotte, NC and virtually across North Carolina. Link in bio to schedule a free consultation.
