About
Welcome! I have worked in the eating disorder field since 2020, and am passionate about supporting individuals of all backgrounds with their recovery journeys. Many of my clients come to sessions with me never having discussed their relationship to food or their bodies before. Others are in recovery and are seeking a therapist who can offer continued support. Regardless of where you are in your journey, I am here to offer a caring, warm, and curious presence. My approach centers challenging weight stigma and the oppressive systems at play that affect peoples’ relationships to their bodies. I work from an anti-diet and fat justice lens.

In our sessions together, we will explore past and present day experiences that affect your relationship to food and your body, including relational/complex trauma, gender identity, perfectionism, and grief.

My experience previous to entering private practice includes working with the Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) and as a member of FEDUP, an international collective that focuses on eating disorders in the trans community. I am a Certified Body Trust Provider, and am committed to continued education in the eating disorder field. I am currently taking classes through Lewis and Clark College's eating disorder certificate program. As a trans-identified provider, as well as someone recovered from an eating disorder myself, I have a special focus in offering support to members of the queer and trans community.
