I am a trauma specialist providing virtual appointments throughout PA, NY, Fl & OR. I specialize in working with folks who have complex trauma and/or dissociative disorders. My passion is working with clients who are... -dealing with Dissociative Identity Disorder -those in larger bodies looking to heal disordered eating or body image issues and no longer want to pursue intentional weight loss I am trained in LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming care. I provide neurodivergent affirming ADHD assessments for clients ages 15+.
I incorporate a social justice and weight neutral lens into my work. That means I support individuals' autonomy and choices in their own health decisions and acknowledge how politics and system oppression affect mental health. I pull from IFS, EMDR, DBT, ACT and practice harm reduction.
I provide 30-minute consultations where you can learn about my treatment approach in a gentle and pressure-free environment.
