EXPERTISE

As a therapist I work with clients experiencing general concerns related to food and body: long term dieters, disordered eating and active eating disorders, as well as executive functioning and sensory related concerns related to how we feed ourselves.

Maybe you aren’t sure if your relationship to food is “good” or “bad” but you do know it is something that causes you stress. You find you are spending too much time and emotional energy on food and body image thoughts.

I help people make peace with their bodies through a holistic and collaborative lens.

We will utilize modalities such as parts work, somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, and ACT. My work is also aligned with fat liberation, Body Trust, Health at Every Size, and Intuitive Eating. All of which are social justice informed. I don’t believe we can heal without addressing the diet and wellness culture that is present in our society or the experiences you’ve personally had existing in your body.

All bodies are welcome here, and all bodies are deemed worthy.

As a therapist and an ADHDer, I have a passion for working with other neurodivergent folks. I practice from a trauma-informed, affirming and inclusive lens. Simply put… this is not a space that will ask you to change or fix who you are or how you experience the world.

Living in a world which doesn’t accommodate for executive functioning, communication differences, sensory needs and much more can be overwhelming … leading to burnout or a feeling that something is wrong with us for “not fitting in” to a neurotypical world.

I have a special interest in working with late diagnosed women and adults who are going through the process of unmasking and understanding/honoring their unique needs.

Unsure if you have ADHD or Autism?

Outdated and misinformed ideas about neurodiversity can make it hard to identify in yourself. Part of my work involves supporting folks through untangling if this makes sense with their life experience. You don’t have to know that you’re ADHD or autistic for us to work together. It would be my honor to collaboratively explore this with you.

While HSPs do technically fall under the neurodivegent umbrella, they also hold unique lived experiences:

Being highly sensitive is an innate trait. It’s a sensory processing sensitivity where all sensory input is processed at a deeper level than many people experience.

Many of these clients come to therapy filled with shame from a lifetime of being told they’re “too much”: too emotional, too sensitive, too uptight… the list could go on. In this space we will honor the parts of your nervous system that make you YOU.

Empaths share many traits with highly sensitive people, but there are some differences. Empaths experience the emotions and sometimes physical sensations of others on a deeply energetic level, and can find it difficult to distinguish between their own emotions or pain and someone else’s.

Here we will acknowledge the strengths and beauty you bring to the world, while honoring the difficulty that comes with being sensitive in an insensitive world.
