Marco Holds a certificate in Family-Based Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa with The Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders and having completed over 1000 direct client hours with clients experiencing Eating Disorders, I am particularly passionate about supporting people experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, and concerns related to body image. Whether you are struggling with restrictive eating, binge eating, purging, rigid food rules, or persistent guilt and anxiety around food, my aim is to meet you with compassion rather than judgment. Our work can include exploring your relationship with food and your body, understanding the role of perfectionism or self-criticism, and making space for emotions that may feel difficult to manage. I recognize that seeking support can bring mixed feelings, and I welcome conversations about both your hopes for recovery and the parts of change that feel frightening or uncertain.

He supports clients navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression, Men’s Issues, including those whose concerns overlap with eating and body image difficulties, and he also has experience working with Veterans. Together, we can work toward developing coping strategies, building self-understanding, and strengthening your ability to respond to challenges with greater flexibility and self-compassion. Above all, I am committed to helping you feel more empowered in your choices and your story, while moving toward a life that feels more connected to what matters to you
