My Philosophy of Care
We want to see you come home to your body and yourself. We honor the ways you’ve survived and coped in the past. No judgment here. We hold onto hope for healing, even when you can’t access any hope for yourself. We draw from research-supported approaches like ACT, IFS, RCT, and EMDR. We raise awareness of the social and cultural systems impacting you. We recognize that everyone experiences traumas of some kind, and we want to support you in processing those experiences.
Mental health issues can be like weeds. Don’t settle for just managing the parts on the surface with hacks and tricks. Dig out the roots.
About Me & My Practice
We might be a good fit if…
…you’re looking for therapy that goes deeper than just skills and hacks.
…you’ve tried every diet under the sun, and you’re ready to get out of that cycle and try something completely different.
…you’ve been burned by the church, and need a safe place to process that.
…your sick of providers making triggering recommendations about food, exercise, and weight, no matter what issue you’re seeking help for.
…you want to learn to accept your body, even if society doesn’t.
…you’ve got childhood issues that still have ripple effects on your life, and you’re ready to work through those.
...you're looking for supervision toward your counselor license in Maryland or Virginia, and you want a supervisor who will help you find your own therapeutic voice, develop your skills in weight-inclusive and trauma-informed care for any mental health concerns, and who also want to help you craft a sustainable career.
Accessibility Considerations
Our offices are accessible by the DC Metro, Metro Bus, and Circulator. There is an elevator. We do not provide medical care of any kind (no weigh-ins or taking vitals). We offer a variety of seating options at our offices, thoughtfully chosen to accommodate a variety of access needs, including higher weights. We also increase accessibility through offering virtual services, and through being a member of the ProjectHEAL Healers Circle.
