Therapy for people
who feel deeply
Welcome! I imagine you found your way here because things are tough right now. You may be experiencing anxiety or uncertainty around the change that comes with a new season of life, or experiencing insecurities about who you are or how you want to show up in the world. You may be grieving: grieving the loss of a loved one, or even grieving what you thought your life “would or should be”. You are in search of healing and compassion, but you’re not totally sure where to start. If any of this resonates with you, I’m so glad you’re here.
My clients are folks who may struggle with self-criticism: exhibiting itself as increased daily anxiety; maybe in their relationship with food (disordered eating), body image struggles, people-pleasing/perfectionism, or shame around their sensitive nature.
Wondering if we’d be a good fit? I would love to schedule a phone call to learn more about what you are searching for in a therapist.

EXPERTISE
-
As a therapist, I support people with food and body concerns—whether it’s long-term dieting, disordered eating, active eating disorders, or challenges with executive functioning and sensory sensitivities affecting how we nourish ourselves.
You might not be sure if your relationship with food is 'good' or 'bad,' but you do know it’s causing you stress. Maybe you feel you’re spending too much time and emotional energy on food and body image worries.
I help people find peace with their bodies through a holistic, collaborative approach. Together, we use tools like parts work, somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, and ACT. My work is also rooted in fat liberation, Body Trust, Health at Every Size, and Intuitive Eating, all of which reflect social justice values. I believe true healing means addressing diet and wellness culture and honoring the unique experiences of being in your body.
Here, all bodies are valued, and all bodies are welcome.

As a therapist with lived experience, I care deeply about working with other neurodivergent folks. My work is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and rooted in the belief that you are not broken. This is not a space where you will be asked to perform, mask, or “fix” yourself in order to be worthy of support.
Living in a world built for neurotypical minds can be exhausting. Many of my clients come in feeling burnt out, misunderstood, or quietly wondering why everything feels harder for them than it seems to be for others. Differences in executive functioning, sensory processing, communication styles, and emotional intensity are often met with shame instead of accommodation, which can slowly erode self-trust and self-compassion.
I have a particular passion for working with late-diagnosed women and adults, especially those navigating unmasking, identity shifts, and the grief and relief that often come with finally understanding yourself. Together, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, clarifying your needs, and building a life that works with your brain instead of against it.
Not sure if you have ADHD or Autism?
You’re not alone. Outdated, stereotypical ideas about neurodivergence have left many people overlooked or misdiagnosed, especially women and adults. A big part of my work is helping clients gently explore whether neurodivergence resonates with their lived experience, without rushing to labels or forcing certainty.
You do not need a formal diagnosis to work with me. If you are curious, questioning, or simply trying to make sense of your inner world, I would be honored to explore that alongside you, at your pace, with care and respect.

Many people find their way to my work through the language of being “highly sensitive.” If that term resonates, you’re likely someone who feels deeply, notices everything, and has always needed more rest, recovery, or emotional space than the world seems to allow.
A lot of highly sensitive people grow up being told they’re too much. Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too intense. Over time, that messaging can turn into self-doubt, people-pleasing, or a constant effort to tone yourself down in order to belong. In this space, we do the opposite. We slow things down and make room for the nervous system you actually have.
Some people also identify as empaths, meaning they take on the emotions and energy of others very easily. This can make it hard to know what feelings are yours, what belongs to someone else, and when you’re allowed to step back. Together, we work on grounding, boundaries, and reconnecting with your own inner signals.
You don’t need to have the “right” language or any certainty about your identity to be here. If being sensitive has shaped your life in big ways, we can explore what that means with curiosity, compassion, and no pressure to figure it all out at once.
