About My Clients

Trauma—whether an acute experience or the chronic trauma that can exist within oppressive systems—often disconnects people from their intuition and their sense of self. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their own wisdom and to cultivate lives and relationships that are fulfilling and joyful. I also specialize in helping clients who want to explore body image issues and divest from diet culture.

My Background and Approach

I believe strongly that the quality and fit of the therapeutic relationship is the greatest agent of positive change for clients--especially when clients have experienced relational or interpersonal trauma. With a style built on warmth, humor, and flexibility, I work collaboratively with clients to explore and understand their experiences, to utilize their innate strengths, and to heal. I work from a feminist relational model and incorporate Internal Family Systems in my work. I use a Health at Every Size lens in my work with body image issues and disordered eating.
