Are you struggling with body image, your relationship to food, or an eating disorder? Are you feeling overwhelmed by grief, anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts? I can help. I strive to build a trusting relationship with everyone I work with that allows for space to talk through difficult life experiences. I will never label behavior or coping skills as bad or maladaptive. Instead, we will identify the ways these things have helped you cope & survive, and explore if there are other coping skills that will help you in a different way. We will work together to identify your strengths, heal emotional wounds, and express emotions.

As a Therapist and Yoga Teacher, I value the mind body connection and the ways it impacts our overall wellbeing. I believe that laughter can be healing and use humor when appropriate. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming care and practice from a HAES and weight inclusive lens. My goal is to help you feel at home in your body.

I am not an in-network provider, but will work with your out-of-network benefits. Those without insurance or reimbursement can expect a reduced fee, as I believe finances should never be a barrier to accessing care. No matter what you are going through, we will work together to help you get through it and achieve your goals.

I will work with you to find what therapeutic approach resonates best, as there is no one size fits all approach. Love journaling? Great, let's do it! Hate journaling? Great, let's skip it! Therapy may involve parts work, learning coping skills, processing difficult experiences, learning new ways to express and sit with challenging emotions, art, writing, yoga, or time outside in nature.
