About My Clients

I work with teens (12+), adults, and anyone ready to break free from shame. My approach is warm, curious, and authentic—because healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong with you,” it’s about reclaiming what’s yours and living in a way that feels real to you. I specialize in treating those who have eating disorders and body image concerns as well as handling the complexities of navigating medical trauma or a chronic illness.

My Background and Approach

We’ll move at your pace, using IFS, DBT, and ACT to help you reconnect with your body, your values, and your Self. Every part of you is welcome here—the polished, the messy, and even the parts you’ve learned to hide.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I believe healing happens in safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental spaces. I'm a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and deeply committed to creating inclusive care for people of all identities and backgrounds. I also practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective, which means I honor body diversity and reject weight stigma in mental health and wellness.
