About My Clients
My clients are thoughtful, sensitive, and often their own worst critics. They may struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing, or feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt and burnout. Many have a complicated relationship with food and body image, while others are neurodivergent, navigating a world that doesn't feel made for them. I specialize in disordered eating, ADHD/AuDHD, depression/anxiety, and supporting highly sensitive people in building self-compassion.
My Background and Approach
Every person deserves a space to process emotions without fear of judgment. As your therapist, I strive to create a safe, affirming environment where you can show up fully as yourself while exploring what it means to live more authentically. I work with adults and older teens navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, body image concerns, disordered eating, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, sensitive individuals who spend so much energy caring for others that they struggle to extend the same compassion to themselves. As a relational therapist, I believe healing happens in connection. My approach is collaborative, non-stigmatizing, and rooted in self-compassion. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Parts Work, Somatic Therapy, Brainspotting, and feminist, neurodiversity-affirming perspectives to help clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people make sense in the context of their experiences. Many of the patterns that bring us into therapy, including perfectionism, people-pleasing, masking, restriction, avoidance, or self-criticism, often develop as adaptations to help us survive, belong, or cope. I believe healing happens through self-understanding and self-compassion rather than shame and self-blame. My work is grounded in neurodiversity-affirming values, recognizing that neurological differences are natural variations of human experience rather than deficits to be fixed. I also believe that our struggles do not exist in a vacuum. Mental health is shaped not only by individual experiences, but also by relationships, family systems, culture, oppression, privilege, diet culture, and the broader social systems we navigate every day. While therapy cannot change these systems, it can help us understand their impact and reconnect with our own values and agency.
