I am an experienced and compassionate clinician dedicated to providing trauma-informed and weight-inclusive care to all ages. I was drawn to eating disorder treatment because this issue resides within the intersection of social justice and mental health. In eating disorder therapy, my goal is to help you feel like you can get your life back. I am particularly successful in treating ARFID because I value autonomy for my clients and like to come up with creative solutions for healing. I practice from a Health at Every Size perspective and support clients in making peace with their bodies, regardless of size or shape.
My approach is anti-oppressive, creative and collaborative. That means that I will never blame you for your struggles, but encourage exploration of context. My therapeutic style is informed by multiple evidence-based treatment modalities, which I integrate to best support you. I am DBT certified and use mindfulness to assist you in cultivate self-compassion.
I won't push you to change at a pace that doesn't work for you, and we'll develop goals together. One of my favorite things about being a therapist is working alongside you creatively to identify strategies that work for you for long-lasting change and healing.
