We’re a good fit if... you find yourself stuck in survival mode. Maybe you’re holding everything together on your own, navigating eating disorders, chronic illness, neurodivergence, burnout, or identity exploration. You may feel disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by expectations, or tired of minimizing your experiences. I offer a space where your story is welcomed with compassion, curiosity, and care.

My ideal client is... someone who is ready to better understand themselves and the ways they’ve adapted to survive. My clients are often highly self-aware, and tired of being in constant negotiation with themselves. They may be navigating chronic illness, eating disorders, life transitions, neurodivergence, or struggles with self-worth and identity. Together, we work toward reconnecting with your needs, values, and sense of self so life can feel more grounded, meaningful, sustainable, and genuinely yours.

I create safety and build rapport by... showing up authentically, and without judgment. I believe healing happens in relationships where you feel seen, respected, and supported. My approach emphasizes client autonomy through a collaborative, trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based approach. I practice from a weight-inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and queer-affirming lens while recognizing the impact larger systems have on one’s quality of life. I integrate somatic approaches with CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed practices to help clients better understand their emotional and nervous system responses.

Three things I love: spending time with my partner and our pup, Buoy. Coffee in all forms, but more specifically, the comfort and ritual of crafting recipes, latte art, and learning about the roasting process. And lastly, the small everyday moments that help me slow down and feel grounded, like sunsets, nature, music, and quiet moments outside.
