How I came to this work

Early in my career, I worked in eating disorder treatment, where I saw firsthand how many people suffer without fitting the narrow stereotype of what an eating disorder is “supposed” to look like.

That experience shaped the way I practice today. I became deeply interested in the ways our bodies, relationships, identities, histories, and environments shape how we learn to survive, and in creating therapy that makes room for all of that.

My work has since expanded to include trauma, perfectionism, body image, intrusive thoughts, relationships, identity, and the patterns we develop when being ourselves hasn’t always felt safe or possible.

What informs my work

My approach is integrative. I draw from EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, parts work, Body Trust®, psychodynamic therapy, and the Gottman Method depending on who I’m working with and what the work calls for.

I care about both insight and experience, building understanding around why a pattern developed while also helping things begin to feel different in your body, relationships, and day-to-day life.

I also don’t believe mental health exists outside of context. Family, culture, identity, body ideals, gender roles, productivity culture, and systems of oppression all shape what we learn to believe about ourselves and what we think we have to do to feel safe, accepted, or worthy.

I believe healing happens in relationships where you don’t have to perform. Where honesty and compassion coexist, and where you get to be understood in the context of your whole life, not reduced to a diagnosis, behavior, or symptom.

You don’t have to know exactly what you need to reach out.
