THERAPY

Helping people heal their relationship with food and body has been my passion since the beginning of my career as a therapist, and I've been doing this work for nearly 15 years. I practice from a Health at Every Size® (what's this?) and Anti-Diet framework, drawing on both clinical training and lived experience — having recovered from an eating disorder myself. I'm deeply committed to helping others move toward a more peaceful, trusting relationship with food and their bodies.

Trauma work requires more than clinical expertise — it requires a deep understanding of what it means to carry pain that others may not see. As a trauma-informed psychologist and a survivor of both acute and complex trauma myself, I bring both professional training and lived experience to this work. I hold this space with the tenderness, respect, and compassion that healing demands.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals through acute and complex trauma, utilizing evidence-based approaches including Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) — and I'm always happy to walk you through what that looks like in practice.

Living with OCD can feel exhausting and isolating — but effective, evidence-based treatment exists. I specialize in OCD therapy using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD, alongside other evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique presentation.

Together, we'll work to reduce the grip that obsessions and compulsions have on your daily life — building the skills and resilience you need for lasting relief and long-term recovery.

A lot of what brings people to therapy comes down to relationships — the one we have with ourselves, and the ones we have with others. I work with clients on self-worth and self-esteem, helping them build a steadier, kinder sense of who they are. I also support people navigating intimate relationships, boundaries, communication, and closeness, as well as broader interpersonal concerns — the patterns that show up with partners, friends, family, and coworkers alike. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded in themselves and more connected, honest, and secure in their relationships with others.

Much of my work centers on the challenges that women carry more often — and more invisibly — than most. This includes eating disorders and gender-based violence, but also the everyday weight of the mental load, the pressures of parenting and caretaking, and the professional challenges women face in navigating careers, ambition, and identity. I believe these experiences deserve dedicated, informed support, and I'm committed to helping women move through them with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

I work with clients who are neurodivergent, including those who are late-diagnosed or high-masking and are just beginning to understand themselves through this new lens. Many of my clients come to me experiencing burnout — often after years of pushing through, overcompensating, or trying to meet expectations that were never built with their brains in mind. I use a neuroaffirming approach, which means we work with your neurology rather than trying to correct it, focusing on sustainable strategies, self-understanding, and self-acceptance rather than forced conformity to neurotypical norms.

I facilitate a weekly virtual interpersonal process group offering a supportive space for women to explore their relationship with themselves — self-worth, self-esteem, shame — as well as their relationships with others, including partners, friends, coworkers, and family of origin.

I use an inclusive definition of "woman," welcoming anyone who identifies as a woman in a way that's meaningful to them. This includes cis women, trans women, genderqueer women, non-binary people who are significantly female-identified, and others who have been negatively impacted by patriarchal systems.
