My Ideal Client

I work primarily with fat, queer, and neurodivergent folks who are navigating the everyday realities of living in bodies and identities that the world wasn't built for. Whether you're dealing with size oppression, transphobia, ableism, or trauma that shows up in unexpected ways, my practice is grounded in the belief that you already possess an inherent capacity for healing.

My Approach to Helping

My approach draws from person-centered, relational, feminist, liberatory, and trauma-informed frameworks. I work at depth, exploring the patterns and stories that shape how we move through the world, while staying grounded in the practical realities of your life. I'm trained in EMDR, somatic approaches, expressive arts, and grief and loss work, and I'm Body Trust certified.

My Values as a Therapist

You are the expert on your own experience. We decide together what we work on and how—this is your therapy, and you get to shape what it looks like. My role isn't to fix you or give you answers. I'm here as a companion and guide, helping you access strengths you may not see and build on what already works for you.
