Living with food allergies—or caring for someone who does—can affect so much more than what’s on your plate. The emotional impact can show up in everyday life, relationships, social experiences, travel, school, work, and your overall sense of safety and well-being.

As a caregiver to a child with multiple food allergies myself, I understand just how complex this journey can be. I know that food allergies can bring feelings of worry, frustration, sadness, anger, loneliness, and even exhaustion. There may also be moments when you simply wish someone got it—without needing to explain why something that seems small to others can feel so significant to you.

In our work together, I offer a supportive, compassionate space where you can talk openly about the realities of living with food allergies or caring for someone who does. Together, we can explore the emotional challenges that come with food allergies, develop tools to navigate anxiety and stress, strengthen coping skills, and help you feel more confident and connected along the way.

My goal is not only to help you navigate the difficult moments, but to make space for the good ones, too. There is room in therapy to celebrate the wins, build resilience, find moments of joy, and create a life that feels bigger than food allergies.

I am passionate about increasing awareness of the mental health impact of food allergies and providing support that recognizes the unique experiences of the food allergy community. I am also a registered food allergy-informed therapist with the Food Allergy Counselor Directory.
