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 an ADHDer, I'm passionate about working with other neurodivergent folks. My approach is trauma-informed, affirming, and inclusive. In short—this is a space where you won’t be asked to change or 'fix' who you are or how you experience the world.
Living in a world that often doesn’t account for differences in executive functioning, communication styles, sensory needs, and more can feel overwhelming. It can lead to burnout and make us question ourselves for not fitting into a neurotypical mold.
I have a special interest in working with late-diagnosed women and adults navigating unmasking and discovering their unique needs.
Not sure if you have ADHD or Autism?
Outdated and misinformed ideas about neurodiversity can make self-recognition difficult. Part of my work is helping people untangle whether neurodivergence resonates with their life experiences. You don’t need a diagnosis for us to work together—I’d be honored to explore it with you."

Highly sensitive people (HSPs) are technically part of the neurodivergent community, but they have their own unique experiences.
Being highly sensitive is an inborn trait—a kind of sensory processing sensitivity that means you take in sensory information on a much deeper level than most people. Many HSPs come to therapy carrying shame from a lifetime of being told they’re 'too much'—too emotional, too sensitive, too uptight... it goes on. Here, we’ll honor the parts of your nervous system that make you who you are.
Empaths share a lot with HSPs, but there are differences. Empaths feel the emotions—and sometimes even the physical sensations—of others on a deeply energetic level, which can make it hard to tell their own feelings apart from someone else’s.
In this space, we’ll celebrate the strengths and beauty you bring to the world, while also acknowledging the challenges that come with being sensitive in a world that can feel anything but.
