THERAPIST & MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTANT
Hi! I’m so grateful you're here. Below is a little bit more about who I am has a therapist and a human:
My work is divided in two main passions: therapy and mental health consultation/education. My therapy practice allows me to build relationships 1:1 with folks, keeping my clinical skills sharp, while education and consultation connects me to the larger community to reduce stigma and empower people with real tools.
I have a non diet, weight inclusive approach to trauma, body image and eating disorder work. I also deeply understand there are many reasons why people desire to change their bodies. I love helping people dig into that further and clear up some mind space for more joyful things in life.
I try very hard to role model the work/life balance I want for my clients. I enjoy hiking, yoga, traveling, napping (I pride myself on my ability to take a good nap) and seeing live theater or music. I enjoy the idea of cooking but would much rather be cooked FOR (who wouldn’t, right?!).
We all deserve rest and joy and connection that has nothing to do with productivity or achievement. I believe a big part of my purpose in life is to give people permission to do less and take up more space in their lives.
