I am dedicated to partnering with people who want more: more peace, more meaning, more love, more depth, more space, more insight, or more of you're-not-quite-sure-yet. We might be a great fit if you consider yourself a highly sensitive person (HSP), want to work through disordered eating or body image issues using a Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating approach, are an early career therapist or other helping professional wanting to build out a sustainable professional foundation for yourself and avoid or heal burnout, or know you benefit from working with a therapist operating from an anti-oppressive lens.
I'm a firm believer in the large body of research supporting the power of relationships, including between client and therapist, to help rewire the brain toward emotional well-being and relational fulfillment, and incorporate techniques from a variety of trauma-informed and evidence-based theoretical perspectives.
I work jointly with clients to create a safe and engaging space to explore, learn, heal, and change. If you'd like to explore cocreating that space with me, reach out for a complimentary 15-20-minute phone consultation and we can jointly plan next steps.

I work best with folks who wish to consider how earlier life experiences and relationships are impacting their current life. During our initial sessions, we will work to understand where you are now, how you here, and where you'd like to go. Often, things may get worse before they get better, but my goal is to support long-term and sustainable healing and change, rather than short-term fixes.

I use an eclectic/integrative approach tailored to each client's needs, preferences, strengths, and goals. However, all clients will find that I utilize the therapeutic relationship itself as a vehicle for healing, and will elicit regular and ongoing feedback about our work together.
