I seek to help clients feel safe (enough) and affirmed by using a strengths-based approach that centers compassion and a deep respect for the therapeutic relationship as a powerful tool in healing. My values of anti-oppressive practice, consent, harm reduction, affirming neurodiversity affirming, trauma-informed, sex positivity, queer liberation, and a Health at Every Size/anti-diet are my foundation. I approach therapy by understanding the ways our lived experiences, our environment, and systems impact our mental health. Together, we will explore self-compassion and a develop a growing sense of connection to ourselves.
My 10+ years as a survivor advocate has built a passion for working with survivors of trauma. I especially with people who have experiences of complex trauma, C-PTSD, and childhood trauma. I also have a passion for working with people who are recovering from disordered eating, diet culture, body image distress, and seeking body liberation.
My own experiences as a trauma survivor and eating disorder recovery taught me that to experience inner knowing is powerful. My wish is that therapy serves as a container for you that allows exploration of your sense of self, connection to your needs and boundaries, your own powerful sense of inner knowing, and the inner voice of self-compassion.

I tailor therapy to the needs of my clients. I draw most on trauma-informed approaches that use a combination of brain (cognitive) and body (somatic) connections to explore ourselves and others. Our connection to ourselves and others are an important part of who we are and how we respond and I often bring into our work attachment, relationships, and the world around us.
