FOR ADULTS & TEENS
Body Image Support
Serving Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, Sandy Springs, and East Cobb
I provide body image therapy for teens and adults in Roswell, Georgia, from a compassionate, weight-neutral perspective.
If you’re here, concerns about your body and how you look may be taking up more space in your life than you want them to. You might feel caught in cycles of comparison, self-criticism, or pressure to look or be a certain way. You may feel stuck yet still unsure whether what you’re experiencing is “enough” to ask for support.
Therapy doesn’t require a diagnosis or a crisis. It can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin relating to your body with more steadiness and kindness.
What Body Image Struggles Can Look Like
Body image concerns don’t always look obvious from the outside. Many clients I work with appear “high-functioning” or successful, but internally they feel disconnected, ashamed, or never quite good enough.
Body image struggles may show up as:
Constant comparison to others (especially with social media)
Harsh self-talk or feeling uncomfortable in your own skin
Anxiety around food, exercise, or appearance
Perfectionism and fear of being judged
Avoiding mirrors, photos, or social situations
Feeling like confidence depends on how you look
For teens and young adults, body image concerns are often tied to identity, self-worth, academic pressure, and social belonging. Parents may notice changes in mood, confidence, eating patterns, or withdrawal but know exactly how to help.
Body Image Therapy for Teens and Young Adults
I specialize in working with teens, young adults, college students, and adults who struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, and pressure to be “enough.” Many of my clients are sensitive, high-achieving, or perfectionistic and deeply hard on themselves.
In body image therapy, we focus on:
Understanding where beliefs come from
Building awareness without judgment
Developing self-compassion and emotional flexibility
Reducing comparison and shame
Reconnecting with your body in safe, gentle ways
This work moves at your pace. There’s no pressure to talk about food, weight, or appearance before you’re ready and no expectation that you have everything figured out.
A Weight-Neutral, Compassion-Focused Approach
I utilize different modalities, depending on what works best for you:
Compassion-Focused Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
RO-DBT-informed strategies
Mindfulness and nervous system awareness
Creative and experiential interventions (without pressure to be “artistic”)
Together, we work toward more flexibility, self-trust, and ease especially for clients who feel stuck in control, rigidity, or self-criticism.
My approach to body image therapy is weight-neutral, meaning bodies are not labeled as “good” or “bad,” and worth is never tied to size or appearance. Therapy here focuses on how you relate to your body, not changing it.

Absolutely. When I work with clients under 18, I include parents or caregivers as part of the process in a supportive way. I believe therapy works best when teens have privacy to open up and parents feel connected to the process. We’ll find the right balance together as it looks a little different for every family.
