Trauma-Informed Recovery Coaching

Coaching helps bridge the gap between recovery and real life to help you create sustainable change. My coaching is individualized and collaborative, focusing on real-time awareness and behavior change rather than a standardized curriculum or program. Sessions are really focused on helping you apply recovery in your unique daily 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 adapted to you as a unique person. 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 of all identities and backgrounds. I believe you are the expert of your experience and approach every session with curiosity. 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 and neurotype 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 more agency to support lasting change. We meet weekly or biweekly and explore 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 so it can be easy to lose traction. Working together includes optional access to me between sessions to provide extra support, clarity, and feedback to help you navigate recovery in real life.

Supported Eating

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

How It Works

  • We start with weekly or biweekly meetings because consistency matters when trying to change long-standing patterns. Regular meetings helps us troubleshoot challenges as they arise and practice new ways to approach them. Over time, it also helps us build a really solid working relationship, which tends to make the work more effective.

    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

  • Recovery happens outside of sessions which is why I offer between-session messaging to help you with applying insights and intentions in real life

    You’ll have someone to share your progress with and provide encouragement, feedback, and accountability during the hard moments.

    Between-session support is meant to help you stay connected to your goals and practice recovery skills in real time.

  • 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.

  • I offer coaching virtually, which means you can access support wherever you are. You deserve care that is aligned for you 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 move at a pace that is right for you as a unique person. 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.
