About

We reject perfection and all-or-nothing strategies here. I believe in helping you find realistic, sustainable progress that actually works in your real life.

I show up fully engaged in this work, and I expect you to do the same. This is important because I can give you all the suggestions in the world, but if you’re not doing the work outside of session, the things you’re struggling with aren’t going to change. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, and we work together to actually feel, heal, and work through whatever challenges and pain you’re facing.

You’ll be encouraged to question things, challenge ideas, and give feedback. This is your journey, and my role is to be a partner with you in the process. My work is grounded in a Health at Every Size® (HAES®) approach, which in practice, that can look like:

• Reconnecting with your body and its inner wisdom
• Rebuilding trust in your internal signals and cues
• Dismantling harmful beliefs about body size and worth
• Building confidence in using your voice and communicating your needs more directly
• Understanding weight bias and the larger systems that have shaped how you see your body and health
• Feeling more empowered, informed, and grounded in your right to respectful, compassionate care

Sometimes, trauma and adverse experiences are at the root of what is keeping you stuck—even if it doesn’t look the way you’d expect or you’ve told yourself it “wasn’t that bad.” That’s why we go beyond just talking. I use somatic work, including Brainspotting, to help you process what your body and your nervous system are still holding onto (because insight alone doesn’t always cut it or lead to lasting change). We’ll also look at the parts of you that helped you survive and protect yourself—desire for control, people-pleasing, patterns around food, and your body journey. Once we understand the role your protectors play in how you show up and cope with life’s difficulties, we can start to shift the behaviors and narratives that no longer serve you.
