We aren't meant to do life alone- any of it. The easy parts, the hard parts, and everything in between. We are hardwired for connection.

Recovering from an eating disorder is a truly radical and exhausting feat- ESPECIALLY in a world that puts so many different pressures and (often conflicting) expectations on us and our bodies.  I know this from my own lived experience in addition to the incredible privilege I have every day as a psychologist, walking alongside so many other brave humans navigating their own recovery journies.  What I know to be true above all else, is that no one can do this journey alone.  Community and connection are and essential part of this healing, which is why I so admire the Alliance's commitment to providing access to community & support for everyone. In a time where access to adequate healthcare is impossibly hard for so many, the Alliance remains wholeheartedly committed to building accessible community spaces to support ALL individuals on their road to recovery and remind them they are not doing this alone. 

Did you know that more than 29 million Americans will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime and every 52 minutes someone dies as a direct result of their eating disorder?

Unfortunately, less than ⅓ will ever receive access to care. The National Alliance for Eating Disorders, the leading national nonprofit for eating disorders, has worked tirelessly over the past two decades to change these statistics. During the weekend of February 23-25, 2024, I will be participating in The Alliance’s Annual NOT ONE MORE Weekend.

Please support me as I join this global movement to ensure that NOT ONE MORE life is lost, NOT ONE MORE child is taken, and NOT ONE MORE precious moment is destroyed by this insidious disease. All proceeds from the NOT ONE MORE Weekend will directly fund their free, weekly, therapist-led, virtual eating disorder support groups!

In 2023 alone, more than 20,500 individuals from all 50 states and 83 countries around the world attended Alliance groups.The Alliance is the only national nonprofit organization that provides free, weekly, therapist-led eating disorders support groups; free referrals for all levels of care through a therapist-staffed helpline and findEDhelp; low-cost therapeutic services for uninsured and underinsured individuals; and unique and empowering Southern Smash events. Simply put, The Alliance saves lives.

Please consider donating to my page so that I can help The Alliance continue to make a difference nationwide!
