Accepting Clients

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, specializing in trauma, eating disorders, body image and anxiety.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Federal Way, WA

About My Clients

Do you struggle with an eating disorder, feeling out of control around food, or body image distress? Does your relationship with food, exercise, or your body make you feel exhausted and overwhelmed? Does trauma or anxiety interfere with your ability to feel safe and empowered in your body, set boundaries with others, or prioritize your needs? I believe there is hope!

My Background and Approach

I offer a safe and inclusive space to explore the challenges you're facing, celebrate your successes, and work with you to put a plan in place to help you move forward. I incorporate a variety of techniques, using an anti-diet, Health at Every Size, and trauma- informed approach to help you find peace in your relationships with food, exercise, body and others. Starting therapy can feel scary and overwhelming, so I work to provide an environment that feels safe, laid back, and full of authenticity and humor.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Helping people reconnect with their bodies and their inner wisdom is my passion. That could mean recovering from an eating disorder, learning to trust your internal cues, setting boundaries with yourself and others, letting go of perfectionism, or working through the loss of your athletic identity. Contact me today and we can get started together!
