Welcome, I am so glad you are here. Therapy is a beautiful opportunity to nurture your inner voice, which may be shadowed by traumatic experiences and societal oppression. My primary goal is to foster a transformative space that is safe, non-judgemental, and compassionate.I specialize in supporting queer and trans young people coping with body image and eating issues with gender-affirming, fat-positive, and intuitive eating frameworks. My therapeutic style stems from a firm belief that therapy must be anti-oppressive to be truly healing.
I am a strengths-based, trauma-focused, mind-body therapist utilizing techniques including Mindful Self-Compassion, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Please note that I work exclusively with women and non-binary folks.
Seeking a new therapist can feel vulnerable or stressful, and it can also be a loving and courageous act. I hope you know that exploration on its own is a strength to be recognized. It would be an honor to partner with you in this movement towards groundedness, authenticity, and joy.
