Life can be challenging and sometimes we need support to navigate those challenges. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, or dealing with another life transition I am here to be a guide, support, and help you navigate. I welcome and affirm clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities, and am committed to creating a space where you can show up fully as yourself.
My areas of specialization include Perinatal Mental Health, Food & Body Issues, and supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and loss of direction. I offer both in-person sessions at my Bellingham office and virtual sessions for clients across Washington state.
My approach to therapy incorporates psychodynamic therapy, unconditional positive regard, and the neuroscience of attachment. Together, we can work through the stressors and difficulties you're facing and move towards a more fulfilling life.

In working with food and body issues, I use an approach informed by Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, and Body Trust. I hold a weight neutral standpoint and encourage clients to explore the ways in which diet culture and internalized stigma have impacted their body image, relationship to movement, and approach to food.
