Hello! I specialize in serving clients experiencing disordered eating/eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions struggles, and stress looking to make peace with food, their bodies, and themselves. I provide a warm and relatable environment so clients feel safe to explore and process the intricacies of their experiences. While therapy can touch on difficult topics, I make sure we are also acknowledging and celebrating the joy in your life! I utilize a client-centered approach that honors your inherent wisdom as the expert in your life as the mechanism that will lead to lasting change. I'm licensed in CT, VA, and CA.
I practice from a Health at Every Size and anti-diet model with a holistic and systems approach that acknowledges how environment influences both the development of and recovery from mental health struggles. I believe that full recovery from an eating disorder IS possible, and I work with clients to divest from diet culture and refocus on internal worth.
You are not alone; finding your way is easier with support and I'd be honored to accompany you on your journey towards healing, wholeness, and recovery. If you believe Black Lives Matter, Trans rights are human rights, that fat people deserve joy, and that abortion is healthcare, we'll be aligned and I encourage you to reach out to see if we're a good fit.
