We cannot shame ourselves into behavior change, and that's why I take a compassion-focused approach to everything I do. Self-compassion might be brand new to you, which is totally cool! It's a skill that might not feel natural at first, but eventually can become the default way you respond to yourself (and hopefully others as well). I believe your experience in therapy should be as unique as you are. I integrate many different modalities to fit your personality, goals, and preferences. Everything we do in therapy will be collaborative, as my goal is to reduce the inherent power dynamic that the therapeutic relationship can create.
I work with individuals who have been trying to "get it together" and live up to impossible expectations. My clients tend to be those struggling with eating disorders/disordered eating/body image issues, are neurodivergent, and/or are part of the lgbtq+ community. I work with adults and teens ages 16+.
I operate from a Health at Every Size framework in my practice and take a strong stance against diet culture. I value showing up authentically, and will always show up as my full human self in session. If you're looking for a more formal therapist, maybe we won't be a good fit, and that's ok!

My goal for our sessions is to help you feel engaged and empowered in your healing. That often includes a bit of humor! On a more serious note, I like to use therapy modalities that will help you understand yourself best and access compassion for all parts of you. That often includes modalities like IFS, ACT, and Body-Based Somatic Therapies.
