I’m a client-centered counselor who values the therapeutic relationship as a powerful tool for growth and change. My approach blends cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques, as well as experiential and somatic practices, all rooted in the “here and now” of our work together. I believe in helping clients identify and increase joyful behaviors as tangible indicators of change, while also offering space to explore and process difficult emotions safely.

I work with people ages 12 and up, with a special focus on adolescents and young adults navigating the changes, challenges, and opportunities that come with life transitions. Many of the people I work with are seeking to build a more compassionate and trusting relationship with their bodies and with food, often in the context of disordered eating or recovery from chronic dieting. My focus is on helping clients break free from shame and rigid rules, and move toward a more flexible, intuitive, and affirming approach to nourishment and self-care. I bring a particular passion for supporting fat folks who want a therapist who understands life in a larger body from personal experience.

I am LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome clients from many different backgrounds and lived experiences. In addition to working with individuals, I’m open to working with families, and I am passionate about supporting parents and caregivers in creating safer and more body-positive cultures at home. My aim is to nurture collaboration, encourage curiosity, and help clients connect with their innate resilience so they can move toward a life that feels more authentic.
