As a Media Guest
I translate complex eating disorder and mental health topics into clear, accurate, and engaging conversations for broad audiences. Drawing on research, clinical expertise, and lived experience, I help viewers, listeners, and readers understand nuanced issues without sacrificing accuracy. I've been quoted in media coverage spanning eating disorders, parenting, body image, relationships, anxiety, and self-acceptance. My goal is to leave audiences feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with practical insights they can use in their everyday lives.
