Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
Therapy with me is centered on simultaneously understanding and caring for the coping strategies you've developed, and having the courage to heal. I use a psychodynamic approach, which means we will explore childhood experiences and how those affect you today. We will focus on developing the client-therapist relationship so that you feel secure enough to receive care and begin to trust yourself, as well as to make meaningful connections outside of therapy sessions. I enjoy working with clients on a wide range of issues, but am passionate about and specialize in eating disorders and disordered eating (particularly in queer/trans community), trauma, body image, compulsive exercise, and navigating and unlearning diet culture. Previous to becoming a therapist, I worked as a peer mentor through the Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) and as a member of FEDUP, an international collective that focuses on eating disorders in the trans community. I am a Certified Body Trust Provider, and work from an anti-diet and fat justice lens.
