Throughout our lives, we are wounded in big and small ways in our relationships. I believe that healing these wounds must happen in relationships, as well. In my eyes, that is what therapy is all about. I am particularly experienced in working with people who struggle with disordered eating and eating disorders using Health At Every Size principles. I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ people and those engaged in nontraditional shapes of relationships. I also support people with mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, substance use, and the stress of living through difficult times.


I offer acceptance while also challenging my clients. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and psychodynamic perspectives. Above all, I value the relational task of therapy. It’s my job to co-create collaborative and meaningful relationships that serve as a container for growth. I use humor and curiosity as tools. I strive to be culturally-affirming and trauma-informed. I understand that our individual experiences and identities shape our contexts of harm and healing.
