While therapy can be challenging, my goal is to guide you with compassion and encouragement, helping you find glimmers of joy along the way. I work with people navigating eating disorders, CPTSD, ADHD, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQIA+ mental health challenges. I deeply value understanding your unique life experience from an intersectional perspective. I’m here to help you deepen your mind-body connection, build self-awareness, and cultivate a life that feels grounded, wholehearted, and fun.
I work with individuals aged 14 and up, including adults and the LGBTQIA+ community, providing support through a Health at Every Size lens. I have completed Tiers 1 and 2 of Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders training, alongside a Somatic Therapy Fellowship, equipping me with an attachment-based and somatically-integrated treatment approach.
I also provide somatically-informed meal coaching as part of my services, either for my own clients or as adjunct support alongside your other providers. I'd be truly grateful to support you! I welcome any interest in scheduling a brief, complimentary phone call to see if we might be a good fit.
