My clients are some of the most compassionate, resilient, creative, clever, and strong individuals I have ever encountered. Many times my clients have developed ways to cope and protect themselves that no longer serve them. My approach involves addressing behaviors of concern by helping clients identify triggers, build a new repertoire of coping skills, learn to conceptualize issues differently, and explore how past experiences are linked to present concerns. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients while they heal, uncover origins of their struggles, and create meaningful and fulfilling lives.

I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from mental health care and advocate for reducing stigma around receiving mental health services. I am also deeply passionate about working to dismantle anti-fat bias and changing the way that the medical community and society as a whole approach body shape, weight, and size. I am a strong proponent of the Health at Every Size® movement. Additionally, I am LGBTQ+ affirming and am passionate about helping individuals explore identity. I welcome and strive to create a safe, empowering space for clients of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds.
