I feel strongly about providing care to clients that is non-stigmatizing, anti-racist, HAES®️ -aligned (Health at Every Size), fat positive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and culturally competent. As a clinician, I feel that my professional growth  in these areas never ends, and I value opportunities to further my own education in order to best serve my clients.

Counseling Approach

I believe that my clients have within themselves the ability to make the changes they want to make, and that fulfillment comes from embracing our true selves and using our strengths.  I enjoy helping my clients explore their identities and who they want to be, as well as develop their own ways to tame the negative beliefs that often get in the way of reaching for our goals.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT
