EXPERTISE

Do you ever find yourself wishing you had a better relationship with food and your body?

From restriction to feeling out of control…

and constant weigh cycling…

To being at war with your body day to day…caught in the diet cycle or struggling to “stay motivated”…

or navigating the executive functioning or sensory related barriers that come with keeping yourself fueled…

THESE EXPERIENCES ARE SO TOUGH! But I am so glad you are here.

I help people make peace with their bodies using a Body Trust, HAES-informed, body liberation approach. This is rooted from a social justice lens, because 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 had in your body related to gender, sexuality, race, size, disability, and class.

I believe the relationship we have to food or to our bodies is multifaceted. Impacted by SO many different factors (because you’re human). My hope is to hold space for all of the pieces of your story, and rediscover what peace with food and your body looks like for YOU as an individual.

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 (and sometimes traumatic), leading to burnout or a feeling that something is wrong with us for “not fitting in” to a capitalistic, 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Outdated and misinformed ideas about neurodiversity can make it hard to identify in yourself.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, I wanted to make special mention of my passion for working with these folks!

Being highly sensitive is an innate trait shared by 15-20% of the population. 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 been 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.
