About My Clients

Are you an intelligent, creative, highly sensitive person who struggles to manage anxiety and gets easily overwhelmed in relationships? Do you struggle with your body image or self esteem, and find yourself stuck in frustrating patterns? Are you navigating identity issues related to your career or the transition to parenthood?

My Background and Approach

Therapy with me is a home base where you can heal from the past and process your present. My style is warm, curious, collaborative and trauma-informed. I believe in the healing power of having a safe space to talk through what is going on with someone who can help you understand why things may be feeling the way they are feeling. I integrate mindfulness and somatic awareness so you can find depth in your healing. I also teach new skills when helpful. For clients dealing with body image disruptions and eating disorders, I draw from years of experience treating eating disorders in higher levels of care, as well as trainings in The Body Positive Model, Intuitive Eating and the principles of Health at Every Size. Additionally, for individuals navigating pregnancy and postpartum, I draw from advanced training in perinatal mental health from Postpartum Support International and the Gottman Institute's Bringing Baby Home.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I firmly believe that our mental health lives at the intersection of our lived experience, our bodies, our relationships and our greater sociopolitical context, and I offer therapy that takes each of those levels of experience into account.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
