Behind every therapeutic technique I use is one core belief: You deserve to feel safe in your body, supported in your healing, and empowered to grow

As a therapist, my approach is centered around creating a compassionate and empowering space where you can explore your personal challenges and aspirations. I believe in the inherent capacity for healing and growth within each individual and am committed to facilitating a journey that honors your unique experiences and strengths.

Drawing from a trauma-informed framework, I integrate a variety of therapeutic techniques to address the complexities of your mental health needs. This includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), polyvagal theory, somatic therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), among others. My goal is to offer a personalized and holistic approach that supports both emotional and physiological healing.

My approach

I am committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming to individuals of all sizes, genders, and backgrounds, guided by the Health at Every Size® (HAES) philosophy and an anti-oppressive lens. My aim is to ensure that you feel safe, respected, and validated as we work together to navigate life's challenges.

Through collaboration and open dialogue, I aim to empower you to gain insight, develop resilience, and achieve meaningful change. Your journey is unique, and I am here to support you every step of the way, fostering a path to greater self-awareness, balance, and well-being.

Inclusivity is at the heart of my practice.

My mission is to empower individuals, including those who have experienced long and enduring mental health struggles, to reconnect with their authentic selves and foster holistic healing through compassionate and comprehensive therapeutic practices. 

ABOUT ME

My journey as a therapist is deeply rooted in experiences that have shown me healing is possible, even when hope seems lost. Having witnessed the profound impact of disconnection, I am inspired by the transformative power of finding a path forward. This has fueled my dedication to supporting others in their healing journeys, helping them discover resilience and renewal amidst adversity.

Over the years, the field of mental health and eating disorder treatment has evolved, offering new pathways for long-term recovery that were not always available. In the past decade, we have made significant strides in understanding and implementing holistic healing strategies that address not only the mind but also the somatic and nervous systems—essential components in conditions such as eating disorders, addiction, PTSD, and depression.

I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment where I can help facilitate this full-body approach to recovery. Healing can be a complex and often challenging process that engages the whole body, involving grief, taking risks, and embracing change. Yet, through the hard work and emotional struggles, there exists a world of beauty and stability. I believe in your capacity to reconnect with this world, even after years of disconnection and pain.

When not helping others in therapy, I enjoy traveling, listening to podcasts, cooking, bike riding and spending time with friends and family. I also love spending time training with outside professional affiliations for continued growth. For details on my credentials and professional affiliations, see below. I
