My Philosophy of Care
I practice from an intersectional feminist, social justice lens and I believe that experiences of oppression and ostracism can be profoundly traumatic.
I am fat positive and Health At Every Size®-informed. I welcome all clients to my practice, whatever their race, ethnicity, religion, size, gender, sexuality, disabilities, or citizenship.
Like all of us, I am a work-in-progress in my social justice pursuits. I constantly strive to be culturally affirming and responsive in my practice, to dig deeper into anti-racist ideas and practices, and to be humble and accountable when I inevitably make mistakes.
Of course, I am not an expert on all identities and social locations. If you want a particular aspect of your identity to be a focus of your therapy and it’s not a specialty of mine, I’ll let you know! I am happy to help you find someone with that specific expertise.
I believe my role as your counselor is to accompany and collaborate. I primarily draw from an approach known as Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which is a form of trauma therapy focused on creating a safe environment in which to feel emotions that have been too much to hold alone. It combines elements of somatic therapy, parts work, relational therapy, attachment therapy, and interpersonal neurobiology.

About Me & My Practice
In 2015, I felt deeply ashamed of my fat body and was on yet another diet, desperately trying to get smaller and feel more lovable. It was then that I stumbled into the world of Health At Every Size® and fat liberation.
I realized right away that I’d found a paradigm that was about to change my life. I assembled a team of helping professionals to help me make peace with food and heal my relationship with my body.
Several months later, I realized how passionately I felt about helping others walk a similar path. I left my previous career in the tech world, and became a “fat liberation coach” for the next 6 years. I loved my coaching work but a couple of years in, I realized how often I was encountering clients with significant trauma histories. I also frequently needed to turn away people with eating disorders due to my limited scope as a coach. I chose to pursue professional mental health counseling so that I could fully serve my clients with trauma histories, eating disorders, and other mental health challenges.
My relationships with food and my body are still in process, like everyone else’s! There is no point at which we “arrive” and are “fully healed,” but I feel so much more at peace than I did before I learned these ideas, and I’d love to help you find new peace as well.
