About My Clients

Do you struggle to find comfort in your own skin and in your own life? Far too often this life provides the message that we are not enough, forcing us to develop coping strategies and survival tactics that don't honor who we are or who we want to be. Do you find yourself engaging in behaviors and relationships that don't feel good or make you happy? If so, know that you are not alone. I am here to help you understand where things got off track and guide you back to your true, authentic self.

My Background and Approach

I draw on my training and experience as a marriage and family therapist, dietitian, diabetes educator, yoga therapist, and ayurvedic health counselor to develop a holistic healing path that will lead you toward your best self. Because mental and emotional distress happens in relationship, we begin with the most important relationship you will ever have – the one with yourself. The way in which we treat ourselves directly correlates with how we show up in the world and connect with others. I offer a safe, compassionate, respectful, and welcoming space for all aspects of your being - especially the parts you feel inclined to hide. I work from a body positive, health at every size (HAES) perspective offering guidance toward intuitive eating and self acceptance. I offer tools and assistance in creating a sense of contentment and happiness with who you are and the choices you make.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every human is entitled to live with confidence and self love. I believe this is attainable for anyone and everyone who wants it regardless of age, gender identification, ethnicity, health challenges, adverse life experiences, family background, etc. Change is possible - together we can make it happen!
