My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in The State of Oregon. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Colorado Christian University in 2018. I did my graduate internship within a community mental health center starting in 2017 and continued there professionally from 2018 to 2023. I am fundamentally a person-centered therapist and heavily utilize evidenced-based modalities like Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. While these are approaches that I often utilize, treatment modalities are always tailored to your unique needs as a client.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone is wildly capable to make changes they need to best support themselves. Everyone is worthy of this support and care. Everything that makes you, you, I am so glad to speak to, support, and work with. I live in a fat body and have lived experience navigating care and experience from this lens. I do not work from a weight equates health perspective. I do not utilize the BMI (except for necessary medical referrals). I do not focus on weight loss. I believe movement should be joyful and pleasant and not as a means to weight loss. The end goal of our work is not body positivity. My hope is that everyone coming to get support for their perspective and experience within their body can come to a place of noticing and living in the moment, in their body, without it crowding out valuable space in your mind. I will be a strong advocate in your care across professionals in ensure you receive the most ethical, healthy treatment regardless of your body size or shape.
