Trauma-Informed Recovery Coaching

Coaching helps bridge the gap between recovery and real life to help you create sustainable change. I provide practical support for navigating and integrating recovery into your life. I partner with you and any of your other providers to empower you to take courageous action in the toughest moments and work towards your goals. Our work together is collaborative and always adapted to you as a person and your unique needs. I work with clients online worldwide and can offer in-person support in central Pennsylvania.

My Approach

My approach is non-pathologizing, collaborative, and inclusive. I believe you are the expert of your experience and approach every session with a willingness to listen. It’s okay to feel unsure if you are ready to recover and ambivalent. We hold space for ambivalence, normalize it, and empower you to take steps at a pace that feels right for you. I’m skilled at adjusting coaching to meet each person’s unique needs, knowing that no two people are the same.

Eating disorders are multi-determined, biopsychosocial disorders which require a multi-pronged approach for healing. I work from a non-diet, Health at Every Size, and weight-inclusive framework and believe in state not weight when it comes to recovery. I factor in the role that falling into an energy deficit—intentionally or unintentionally—plays in developing and sustaining an ED including the latest research suggesting that EDs are metabo-psychiatric disorders.

I believe we must factor in the societal messages, systems, and inequities that contribute to eating disorders and add barriers to recovery. I incorporate harm reduction and believe we are all worthy of compassion and support regardless of where we are in our journey. I’ll always hold hope for the possibility of full and meaningful recovery while understanding that we are all complex humans living in a complex world.

Offerings

Recovery Support Sessions

1:1 collaborative coaching sessions to help you build momentum, create self-trust, and find tools to support lasting change. We meet weekly or biweekly and talk about what’s coming up in your recovery and find ways to help you move forward.

Between-Session Support

Recovery isn’t only something that happens in sessions and it can be easy to lose traction. Coaching includes access to me between sessions to provide extra clarity, encouragement, and feedback as you navigate recovery in real life.

Supported Eating

1:1 supported eating sessions to help you build consistency and compassionately challenge fears. I’ll join you while you eat, and we’ll move through it together. These sessions are there to help you stay accountable & rewire in a way that feels supportive.

How It Works

  • I recommend weekly or biweekly sessions because consistency matters when we are trying to change long-standing patterns. Regular meetings helps us troubleshoot challenges as they arise and practice new ways to approach them. Meeting weekly, especially at first, allows us to cultivate a strong working alliance—which is one of the biggest predictors for better outcomes in 1:1 work.

    Beyond sessions I also provide:

    • Personalized resources and recommendations (links, podcasts, books, videos, accounts, etc.)

    • Personalized reflective questions and tools to practice between sessions 

    • Summaries of sessions, including takeaways and goals

    Standard Sessions are 50-minutes with options to:

    • Split the time into two 25-minute sessions for more frequent check-ins

    • Extend to 75-minute sessions if we need more time together

  • Recovery happens outside of sessions which is why I offer between-session messaging when we meet weekly or biweekly. You’ll have someone to share your wins with and provide encouragement and feedback during the hard moments.

  • Recovery is personal not a program which is why there are no long-term contracts here. You simply pay by the offering and week; we choose a frequency that is right for you.

  • If you’re working with a therapist, dietitian, psychiatrist, physician, or pother provider, I will collaborate with them—with your consent—to ensure consistency and the highest quality of support.

    Recovery works best when your support team is aligned. Coaching can complement clinical care by helping you apply insights and recommendations in your day-to-day life.

  • Coaching is offered virtually, which means you can access support wherever you are. You deserve care that is aligned no matter where you live; virtual sessions make that possible.

    I also provide in-person support in central Pennsylvania!

  • Our work together is individualized and we go at a pace that is right for you. It’s not about digging into the past, it’s about creating a foundation of mutual respect that supports your healing journey and helps prevent further harm.
