Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

I believe that we are all resilient creative cacti doing our best to survive our difficult circumstances and painful struggles. As a non-pathologizing humanistic-existential Gestalt therapist, I will meet you exactly where you are. I recognize that you are the expert of your own experience and that you already possess the ability and skills that will aid you in healing your pain and suffering. As your empathic witness, advocate, and guide, I will help you increase your self-awareness, self-acceptance, and sense of agency through mindful observation, personal exploration, and collaborative experimentation. Essentially, I will help you re-examine your life and re-experience yourself and others, in different as well as new meaningful and healing ways. In session with you, I greatly value, practice, and provide presence, authenticity, spaciousness, aliveness, creativity, and diversity.

I believe in each body's inherent embodied wisdom (which is different for every single body out there); that folx should not be required to pursue "health" to be deemed worthy of love, respect, & belonging; that everyone deserves the right to define how they live their life in their own body; that healing (our relationships to body & food) starts with love, compassion, acceptance, understanding, listening, honoring, respecting, & trusting ourselves & our bodies; and that trust in our own body is impacted by trauma, oppression, illness, & social constructs of gender/race/beauty/health/weight.
