Today, I humbly step into the role as President of the Central Florida IAEDP chapter. The International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP) has always represented more than a professional development group for me. It is a community of people who choose, every day, to sit with complexity, pain, hope, and healing. It is people who believe that recovery from an eating disorder IS possible - even when the work is slow, non-linear, and emotionally demanding. When I moved to Florida in 2013, Central Florida IAEDP gave me support, community, connection, and laid the groundwork for me to build a practice dedicated to helping individuals and families who suffer with the devastating effects of an eating disorder.. and now it is my turn to give back to a community who has given me so much!

Today, I am reminded why we do this work. At the heart of it, eating disorder treatment is about the relationship we form with our clients.. it’s about seeing the person beneath their symptoms. It’s about holding hope when someone cannot.. and it’s about continuing to show up with compassion and curiosity - even when outcomes aren’t immediate.

I am excited for the next 2 years, grateful to serve among such passionate professionals, and hopeful for what we will build - Together.

I am pleased to announce we have partnered with Life Reins for a unique, experiential workshop that blends creative arts and equine-assisted experiences to support emotional growth, grounding, and self-connection!

Through guided art-making, choreographed dance, and gentle interaction with horses, participants will explore themes of identity, safety, trust, self-expression, and regulation—all within a supportive, trauma-informed environment. No prior art, dance, or horse experience is needed. Spaces are limited. Lunch will be included.
