About

Young adulthood is an exciting journey of SELF discovery- so why is it so easy to obsess about the approval of OTHERS? Whether it’s food & body image, academics, or relationships, the pressure to compete & compare is not only overwhelming, it implies personal failure when we fall short of unrealistic standards. Imagine the possibilities if we all felt empowered to embrace uncertainty & authenticity- rejoicing in the knowledge that we don’t owe anyone perfection at the expense of being ourselves.

I know firsthand how society reinforces the anxiety & exhaustion of chasing perfection, however unattainable. (Overachievers & people pleasers, I feel you.) If intrusive thoughts about food & body image are keeping you stuck, if you're polling everyone ELSE about what's best for YOU, it's time to disrupt this toxic cycle & start building a life you love.

Cultivating space where all identities feel validated & respected enables vulnerability & growth. My approach is LGBTQ+ affirming, Health At Every Size informed & challenges systems of oppression. I bring my authentic self (including laughter, tears & sarcasm) to therapy & invite you to do the same. To take the next step, schedule a free 15 min consultation.
