About My Clients

In a world that's still evolving in its acceptance of diverse genders, sexualities, bodies, and behaviors, finding a therapist that accepts you and understands your experiences can be hard! I aim to help you navigate a world that may not feel like it was built for you, whether that be sensory sensitivities, complexities with executive dysfunction, issues with accessibility, or challenges in accepting yourself for who you are authentically.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic journey has been guided by a commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and client-centered care. I understand that traditional therapy approaches may not always resonate with everyone. I'm dedicated to providing a safe and affirming space for you to explore your unique identity and experiences. Therapeutic Approaches: - Neurodiverse Affirming Practices - I want us to create a therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable, validated, and heard. We will work towards creating systems that help daily life feel less overwhelming and build acceptance and compassion for yourself. - Body Liberation - I actively champion the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES) and body liberation. Everyone deserves to embrace their body without shame or stigma. -Trauma-Informed Care - Recognizing the prevalence and impact of trauma and oppression, we'll work to create a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship and improve your understanding of its effects on your mental health.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a clinician with ADHD who is fat and queer, so I know firsthand how hard it can be to find a therapist that allows you to feel validated and heard and that understands how to modify therapeutic strategies to fit your level of energy, executive function, and ability. Making the decision to start therapy is difficult, and I am proud of your courage and strength to seek support! Let's work together to learn to love and accept the you of yesterday, today, and tomorrow and create a fulfilling and rewarding life.
