Perhaps you've received a life-altering diagnosis, are struggling to navigate the medical system, or are adjusting to life with a chronic condition or disability. You may feel grief, anger, overwhelm, or a deep sense of loss in this new reality. I support people with disabilities, with a specialization in blind and low vision clients, chronic illnesses (such as POTS and hEDS), and the queer community. I also work with eating disorders, and I'm a Health at Every Size and anti-diet culture aligned. My approach is grounded in empowerment, identity, and accessibility.
I recognize the ways women, AFAB, trans, BIPOC, disabled, and low-income people are often dismissed or harmed in medical settings, and help clients process these experiences while also finding ways to advocate within them. I use a somatic and emotion-focused approach, and help clients develop skills to adapt their lives in ways that honor their needs.
Above all, I prioritize your voice. I believe therapy should offer a path to connect with yourself and the world around you. Please feel free to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation if you feel we may be a good fit. I'd love to help you explore what comes next.

My approach is body and emotion-focused. In session, this might look like exploring parts of yourself that carry pain or protection, noticing how your body holds stress or safety, or building tools to help you regulate your nervous system and reconnect with what matters to you.
