I specialize in: eating disorders, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, autism, sensory processing disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, addiction, codependency, religious trauma, couples therapy, family therapy, self-harm, suicidal ideation. I spent the first 16 years of my career working higher levels of care and my private practice has been open for the last 4 years. I have vast knowledge and expertise in being able to provide safety and support for those in need. My passion for the work is evident. You can expect to be pushed and challenged and find your way to healing and creating a pathway forward.
I am openly queer, ex-Mormon, and fat. It's imperative that my clients feel affirmed and validated in their experiences and their entire being is considered in the work. I bring safety, warmth, compassion, and accountability to the therapeutic space. You will feel like you're talking to a real person and I will facilitate and guide you toward your goals.
I always offer and recommend a free video consultation to see if we both feel it would be a good fit to work together.
