The therapeutic relationship is the greatest predictor of success in therapy. Because of this, my priority is to ensure you feel understood, validated, and that we establish a mutual foundation of trust in our sessions together. I approach counseling with a desire to provide a nonjudgmental and safe environment for you to experience growth. My style is compassionate, direct, and often mixed with humor. During our counseling relationship, we will work together to identify your concerns and create meaningful goals to help you navigate challenges. The hope is for you to feel empowered by a sense of agency on your healing journey; I value your voice and perspective.

I incorporate a mix of therapeutic styles based on my expertise and the best fit for your needs. Types of therapy may include: Relational, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic, Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic, and Lifespan Integration. I focus on the mind-body connection: restoring awareness to how emotion shows up in your body and how to relate to yourself with compassion.

I am a Health at Every Size (HAES) and body-positive provider. This approach is rooted in my value that therapy should be a safe space for everyone in every body to receive care. I utilize an intersectional lens, which involves making space for all aspects of your identity. It is also important for me to acknowledge my own privilege and as a white, thin, heterosexual, cis-gendered female in this work and how this may show up in session. I strive to provide space to process the systems of oppression that perpetuate harm and marginalization, while also seeking my own accountability and ongoing learning as a practitioner holding these areas of privilege.
