Maybe you're here because you're tired of the same old message that you should be pursuing change in your body. Maybe you're seeking a therapist who will move beyond validation of experiences into self-regulation skills building and active pursuit of concrete goals to help you thrive. Maybe you're here seeking affirmation for who you are, or just need a soft place to land from the many stressors, oppressive experiences, and contradictions we encounter in life. If you are here to pursue healing empowerment, peace with your body and with food, or joyful pleasure even in challenging or unjust circumstances, you're in the right place! I am a social worker, so my treatment framework is systems-oriented. I utilize Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating principles in treating disordered eating & body dysmorphia. I proudly offer gender and sexuality-affirming care. I use genuine connection, compassion, client-centered goal checkins, and fun in my sessions. Laughter is a healing resource! Welcome to the therapy journey! Whether you're new to therapy, an experienced client, or a therapist yourself, all parts of you are welcome here. Seeking therapy is hard, but it doesn't have to be painful or unpleasant. I believe in the restorative power of human connection and would love the opportunity to be your ally and collaborator in this next stage.
