My clients have a variety of mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, OCD, borderline personality disorder, and ODD. My clients consists of children, teens, adults, couples, and families. My clients come from diverse genders and sexualities.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

It takes courage to be honest about how you're really feeling and get the resources you need while working through life issues, challenges, or traumatic experiences. In this process, clients reach out when they're navigating varying degrees of distress and overwhelm, and they're looking for further support. I work collaboratively with clients to build on their strengths, expand their ways of coping, and improve the relationships they have with themselves and others.
My clients tend to be people who are seeking to bring spirituality more to the forefront in their lives. This includes people who are "spiritual but not religious", people of a certain faith, or people who do not have a faith. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and difficulties in relationships are all areas where I can offer creative, heart-centered solutions grounded in your values and beliefs.
My ideal client would be a fat bodied individual who is looking to repair their relationship with food and their body. A client who is interested in seeking freedom from diet culture, and unpacking their fatphobia of themselves and how the world sees them. I work from an anti diet and HAES (health at every size) perspective. I also enjoy working with folks in improving communication skills, assertiveness and mindfulness and folks who need assistance in navigating non monogamous relationships

I work with individuals 14+ who may need a little assistance sometimes. I believe we all come into this world on a blank canvas. Through our experiences, layers form which some can be messy and confusing. I am here to guide you through those layers one step at a time. I work with individuals experiencing life transitions, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, self esteem issues, self-harm/SI, and other issues that may be preventing them from living up to their potential.
