These last few years have been really hard on our Bodies. So many of us feel disconnected from ourselves. Your Body deserves to take up space - the world needs your voice and your story. My goal is that my clients can find a place to rest in our work together and to be authentically themselves. My specializations are in working with teenagers and young adults who may be neurodivergent, exploring gender identity and/or sexual orientation, healing from complex childhood trauma, and/or religious trauma, or looking to heal their relationship with food and their Bodies. I approach therapy from an anti-diet and fat-positive approach.

I work from a somatic based approach as a way to help create a mind-body connection. I utilize attachment-based therapy to help clients heal from trauma and begin to create stronger and healthier relationships with their loved ones. I bring my whole self into the work I do by utilizing compassion and humor.

As someone who has sat on the other side of the room, I know firsthand that healing is possible. Maybe you’re tired of feeling alone or maybe you’re tired of living a life unaligned with your values. Together, we can help you heal and begin creating the life you want to live. I’d be honored to hold space for you as you find your way back Home to Your Body.

A lot of the work I do is helping clients Come Home to their Bodies. After a few months of working together, my clients report feeling more connected in their Bodies, as well as feeling more aligned with their values. My clients are able to learn to unmask their neurodivergence and lean into living a life where they honor their Bodies and their Bodies inherent wisdom.
