You've spent years feeling like you don't quite fit—in your body, in healthcare spaces, or in the world more broadly. Maybe you're navigating a complicated relationship with food, a late Autism or ADHD diagnosis, or trauma that shows up in ways you can't always name. You might be queer, fat, neurodivergent, or some combination, and you've had experiences with providers who judged and pathologized the very parts of you that needed the most care. You're not looking to be fixed. You're looking for a space where you don't have to shrink yourself to be understood, and where healing doesn't require changing who you are.
I specialize in eating disorders, body image, trauma, and late-discovery neurodivergence, using HAES-aligned, trauma-informed, and liberatory frameworks. My approach draws from person-centered, feminist, somatic, and EMDR modalities. We work together: you're the expert on your own experience, and therapy here is shaped around you.
If you're looking for a fat-positive and/or neurodivergent-affirming therapist who genuinely gets it—who won't pathologize your survival strategies and who believes in your capacity to heal—I'd be honored to work with you. Therapy with me is designed to hold all of you, no masking or shrinking required. Whenever you're ready, I'd love to connect.

Groups
Late Discovery Neurodivergence Therapy Group
For folks who were diagnosed was adults or are exploring the possibility of neurodivergence—formal diagnosis is not required. We'll explore what neurodivergent identity means for you, process what it's like to realize this later in life, and grieve what you didn't know or get earlier. We'll also talk about specific needs, accommodations, and how to unmask safely. This group approaches neurodivergence through a trauma lens, partnering with your nervous system instead of pathologizing your brain.
