Eating Disorder Therapy for all bodies - I support clients in cultivating a sense of ease, trust, and understanding within their mind & body

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Soquel, CA

About My Clients

Eating disorders and challenges with body image hinder your genuine self and the cultivation of authentic relationships. I believe you can break free from the constraints of your eating disorder and redefine your relationship with food and your body. Your story, your struggle, your experience and your voice, matters.

My Background and Approach

Our collaborative work unfolds within a safe and secure space, fostering exploration, healing, and the rediscovery of your innate resilience. My approach involves harmonizing inner exploration with practical, tangible interventions to create a comprehensive and supportive experience. My background includes working in residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care with eating disorders and co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mood disorders. I have also spent time as a school-based therapist providing personalized mental health services for general education, special education, and alternative schools.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am an anti-diet provider and adhere to the Health-at-Every-Size principles. I am also affirming of all sexual, gender, body and relationship identities, expressions and experiences. I work to make a safe space for all identities and bodies to move towards healing. I believe all bodies are good bodies. I recognize that I have thin, white, abled-bodied and cisgender privilege and continue to educate myself on the unique lived-experiences of those who are not afforded the same privileges.
