Your fat therapist and educator ✶

My approach

I work with people ready to heal their relationship with body, food, pleasure & identity. If you’ve spent years swimming in diet culture, navigating life’s “shoulds,” or feeling weighed down by body shame, gender policing, or disconnection from yourself—you’re not alone. My work centers body liberation, fat acceptance & the belief that everyone deserves to feel at home in their body. You don’t have to stay stuck

☻

Trauma-informed

We acknowledge the complex impact of trauma on people’s wellbeing and access/ability to coping. It involves understanding trauma’s effects and ensuring safety and trust within the therapeutic relationship and throughout the treatment process. Through this lens we blend evidence based modalities like: DBT, ACT, CBT, IFS, Motivational Interviewing, harm reduction and expressive therapies.

❋

Collaborative

It’s all about teamwork! You take the lead in shaping your path, with your therapist providing support and guidance along the way. This approach puts you in charge of setting goals and making decisions, ensuring that the process is tailored to your vision, empowerment and unique needs.

✦

Relational & Client Centered

We focus on creating a genuine therapeutic relationship, encouraging you to show up authentically. We utilize client strengths, lived experiences, therapeutic alliance, and humor to evoke your own insights, resources, and capacities to support growth and change.

✿

Multicultural & Intersectional

Our work is deeply influenced by queer, feminist, multicultural, and relational theories. This approach acknowledges and addresses the complexities of your intersecting identities and experiences as they are central to fostering genuine healing and growth. All parts of you are welcomed and celebrated!

Hey there!

I’m a trauma-informed therapist with experience in community mental health, university counseling & LGBTQ+ group practice. I support clients navigating disordered eating, body image, body liberation, relationship issues, identity exploration, trauma, “church hurt”, shame, reconnecting to play/pleasure & accessing trans-affirmative care—especially at the intersections of queerness, size, race, gender & more.

I’m a certified Body Trust provider rooted in Health at Every Size, intuitive eating & queer feminist roots. I blend IFS, DBT, ACT, CBT, MI, harm reduction & expressive therapies. This work is about reconnecting with your body’s wisdom, releasing what no longer serves you & building a relationship with yourself that feels grounded, expansive & more - well YOU!

I am a white, currently able bodied, fat neuroqueer femme. Pleasure and play are important in the healing process, so beyond the therapy couch, you can find me frolicking through flowers, cuddling with my pups, Sherman and Crouton, catching up on my favorite tv shows, dopamine dressing, or trying my hand at new recipes!
