My Philosophy of Care
I am a social worker and originally worked in community organizing. Due to my chronic illnesses (frequent migraine attacks and colitis), organizing work was too demanding on my body and mind so I started clinical work during the first months of the pandemic. I discovered the HAES® lens around 2016 and even attempted a PhD on the subject of weight bias. I attended ASDAH’s conference in 2018 and it really opened my eyes beyond just the “good fattie” perspective. I became fully licensed (LCSW-C) last year and started my own private practice in March of this year. I’m so eager to make choices about how to do my own work - and to buy furniture that my fat clients could actually fit in!
I talk to friends and other activists about how fatphobia is still on the rise and how harmful it is to people. I love listening to all of the body liberation podcasts, especially She’s All Fat when it was at its peak. I don’t read many books because of my dyslexia but I love keeping up with Regan Chastain’s blog posts. I love collaborating with anti-diet dietitians and recommending size inclusive personal trainers. I have treated many fat folks although many of my clients have not yet identified with the terms fat, superfat, or infinifat - but that’s who I hope to reach with this posting! I have worked with many clients with eating disorders who are not fat but still suffer from diet culture and fatphobia. I want to be a place where clients know they won't be asked to lose weight!

About Me & My Practice
I am a social worker and originally worked in community organizing. Due to my chronic illnesses (frequent migraine attacks and colitis), organizing work was too demanding on my body and mind. I started clinical work during the first months of the pandemic. And I love it. I also love being in community and advocating for the rights of people, spreading the word about the connection between fatphobia and racism. I discovered the HAES® lens around 2016 and even attempted a PhD on the subject of weight bias - but I’m not willing to be as harsh to myself as the PhD program required. I attended ASDAH’s conference in 2018 and it really opened my eyes beyond just the “good fattie” perspective.
I talk to friends and other activists about how fatphobia is still on the rise and how harmful it is to people. I love listening to all of the body liberation podcasts, especially She’s All Fat when it was at its peak. I don’t read many books because of my dyslexia but I love keeping up with Regan Chastain’s blog posts and Burnt Toast by Virginia Sole-Smith. I love collaborating with anti-diet dietitians and recommending movement and personal trainers who are body inclusive, fat positive, and practice kindness in movement. I have treated many fat folks although many of my clients have not yet identified as fat because they have not embraced the term. I can’t think of any clients who identified as superfat or infinifat - but that’s who I hope to reach with this posting! I have worked with many

Accessibility Considerations
My practice is located at the top of one flight of stairs with two railings. I provide seating without arm rests in my waiting room and in my office. I have some seating with arm rests to support people with physical limitations who need that support. I have no weight limits to my services although I do not know the weight limits for my furniture specifically.
Clients only interact with me as I am a sole practitioner with no staff.
I offer technical support calls for people who struggle with telehealth systems.
