My Philosophy of Care
I believe in your autonomy, capacity for growth, and the power of genuine self-understanding to change your relationships. In our work, I won’t tell you what to do or what to feel. Instead, I’ll help you explore ways to hear yourself more clearly — your own values, desires, and wisdom about what you need. Too many healthcare conversations overlook the realities of living in the world in a marginalized body. We'll center your experience and avoid prescriptive, one-size-fits-all approaches to wellness.
My training as a Marriage and Family Therapist means that I see problems through the lens of relationship – whether that’s your relationship with a loved one or your relationship with yourself. I focus on expanding your capacity to receive and give meaningful care and feel a sense of connectedness to yourself and others. If you’re struggling to share your experience of anti-fat discrimination or body acceptance with a partner who doesn’t relate, I can support you in connecting across difference.
In my practice, HAES® means that your body autonomy is at the center of any conversation about weight, health, or body size. I support clients in seeing and accepting the emotions that come up in the face of challenges like anti-fat discrimination, conversations about the intersection of weight and health, and self-esteem. Processing the emotions related to these difficult experiences makes room for a better relationship with yourself and the people around you.
About Me & My Practice
My practice of therapy is informed by my personal experience of unpacking anti-fat bias and seeing how body liberation made new depth possible in my relationships. Sometimes my body is small fat: I have experienced being body shamed by family members and being unable to shop at off-the-rack at the store, but I have never had to navigate a world that refuses to accommodate me in public spaces and tries to shame me into health. A decade of learning about body liberation through lenses like HAES® and my own personal therapy has helped me clarify my values around body autonomy and has taught me the urgent need to address anti-fat bias. This unlearning process showed me how my previously unexamined anti-fat bias got in the way of connection with the people I love and taught me to repair the harm I caused in those relationships.
That personal journey eventually led me to a new career. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as a lawyer, which taught me something I carry into every session: people know what matters to them more than they realize. They often just need someone to help them hear themselves. I'm now a Graduate Student Intern therapist at Thrive Couples and Family Services, supported by a great team of experienced clinicians.
Outside the therapy room, I'm a parent to an elementary schooler and I love trying new things, which is how I've ended up as a beginning music student and a hobbyist watercolor painter.
