About

When people first come to see me, they’re often feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or shutdown. Many of them have tried breaking patterns that no longer serve them, but can’t seem to do it on their own. If this sounds like you: you're in the right place. Oftentimes, old patterns and residual feelings are connected to events and experiences we haven’t yet fully processed. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental place for you to do this processing. As a relational therapist, I bring my full, authentic self to our sessions. I won’t just nod my head and take notes–I will roll up my sleeves and join you in your healing process.

I offer individual counseling to adults 18+ and most often support people with concerns about disordered eating/chronic dieting, negative body image, stress around life transitions, and challenging family dynamics. I’m a non-diet therapist and my work is aligned with Health At Every Size (HAES), intuitive eating, and body trust principles.

My clients describe me as intuitive and directive. I'll sit with you as you explore your feelings and experiences, and ask questions to deepen your self-understanding. I’m here to offer genuine care, interest, and patience as we work together to guide you toward living as your most grounded and authentic self.
