If you're struggling with body-focused repetitive behaviors like hair pulling, skin picking, or nail, lip, & cheek biting... you're in the right place!
You're not alone.
You're not broken.
You do not have a willpower problem.
Period.
I deeply understand...
I understand these behaviors. I understand the pain, the shame, and the isolation that they cause. I understand not only because I've worked with many, many patients who struggle with body-focused repetitive behaviors over the last 15 years, but because I intimately know what it's like to be in a body where pulling my hair, picking my skin, and biting my nails and cheeks is something I desperately wanted to stop, while at the same time it was one of the best ways I knew to find calm and balance.
I know this because ...
I'm a puller, picker, and biter myself.
I've spent the last 35+ years of my life researching and experimenting with strategies and tools to find freedom from these behaviors for myself, my daughter, and my patients. I look forward to sharing some of these hard-earned gems with you. Hopefully I can help you find a little bit straighter path to freedom than the windy road I took. These are the programs I wish I would have had when I was scared and alone as a 9-year-old in Mrs. Bennett's 4th grade class.
These programs are my gift to you.
These body-focused repetitive behaviors are SUPER COMMON! They just seem rare because we get embarrassed and don't talk about them, but they actually affect 2-5% of the population.
On the low end that's 156 million people worldwide!

For pullers.
1-2 people out of every 100 silently struggle with repetitive hair pulling. If you pull from your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, pubic area, or legs you're not alone.
For pickers.
Repetitive skin picking is very common and is estimated to affect between 1.4-5.4% of the population. This makes it more common than peanut allergies!
For biters.
Biting may be the most familiar repetitive behavior. For some it can become chronic. If you bite your nails, cuticles, skin, lips, or cheeks, we've got you covered!

Parents Need Love Too!
One other area that I'm a reluctant expert in is parenting a loved one through these behaviors. I know first-hand how helpless and painful it feels to watch someone you love struggling. How desperate I was to make things better. How guilty I felt. How the harder I tried to help, the more resistance I met and the worse things got.
Believe it or not, our mutual struggle working through repetitive behaviors has brought my teenage daughter and I closer together than ever. I've learned a ton from her and I'm happy to share my hard-earned lessons with you in a free mini-course I've created just for you.
We are proud supporters of these amazing organizations run by amazing people:
It's totally normal to question whether or not you need help because these behaviors come and go. If you're here on this site, trust that you could use a little love and support.
