About Sara

I am a licensed psychologist in Fort Dodge, IA and work with clients throughout the state of Iowa, virtually. For the past 10 years my practice has specialized in the treatment of eating disorders. I have also received my Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) designation from the International Association of Eating Disorder Providers (iaedp). I greatly enjoy working with clients in larger bodies and those who are ready to explore alternative options for living in world free from diet culture. You will receive body affirming, honest and connected care in our work together. My approach to eating disorder recovery integrates challenging old ED narratives, practicing embodiment and exploring the parts of us that may be trying to protect us, yet ultimately keep us stuck.

 

I enjoy cooking in my free time as well as spending time with my husband and three cats (my babies). I have also served as various roles on the board of the Eating Disorder Coalition of Iowa.
