I enjoy working with folks exploring gender, sexuality, relationships, and the intersections of fatness, disability, and queerness. Additional areas of interest and experience include sex therapy, neurodiversity, grief and loss, body image, self-worth, anxiety, depression, and COVID-19-related processing and support with the ongoing pandemic. My work is grounded in queer theory, fat liberation, disability justice, depathologizing, and liberatory practices. My approach includes anti-diet, Health at Every Size-HAES, and liberatory approaches to understanding our relationship to our bodies. I strive for anti-oppressive and collaborative therapy that centers on hope, healing, recovery, and humility. I am a white, queer, non-binary, fat, disabled, and neurodivergent pre-licensed therapist. When we work together, I hope to foster a therapy space that is non-judgmental, client-centered, supportive, affirming, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and free from shame as we navigate and unpack your stressors, supports, and goals in building your healing journey.
