About

I have a deep passion for supporting individuals healing from trauma and those struggling with eating disorders, chronic dieting, and body shame. While I work with each issue independently, it’s incredibly common for clients to be struggling with both. Traumatic experiences—whether from childhood (neglect, abuse, attachment wounding) or adulthood (accidents, violence, sudden loss)—often manifest as disordered eating, chronic anxiety, fatigue, extreme self-criticism, perfectionism, body disconnection, and intense shame. Despite how painful these lasting effects are, I believe deep, embodied healing is absolutely possible. My approach goes beyond talk therapy to honor your experience on a cognitive, emotional, and physiological level. I integrate Somatic Experiencing to process trauma via the nervous system, Internal Family Systems to gain compassion for all the parts of yourself, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build flexible thinking and connect to your values.
