specialties & approach
These are the areas where I've developed expertise and where much of my work is focused. But specialties aren't about exclusivity—if what you're navigating isn't listed here, that doesn't mean we can't work together. I bring a broad range of training and experience to this work. If you're wondering whether we might be a good fit, reach out. We can talk through it together.
I'm Body Trust® certified and work from Health At Every Size (HAES) weight-inclusive frameworks. As someone who lives in a larger body and has navigated disordered eating myself, I understand what it's like to exist in a world that pathologizes your body while also struggling with your relationship to food and eating.
Eating disorders in fat bodies often don't fit neat diagnostic categories and are frequently dismissed by providers who can't see past weight. Whether you're early in recovery or have been working on this for years, I can help you untangle what's happening and move toward a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.
disordered eating
I work with folks experiencing
Binge eating, restriction, or food preoccupation
Compulsive movement or exercise
Body image distress
The messy, complicated mix of all these things
For those with active eating disorders, I work collaboratively as part of an interdisciplinary treatment team alongside medical care, nutritional support, and/or psychiatric care.
neurodivergence
As someone diagnosed as an adult, I know how disorienting and clarifying that experience can be. Whether you've recently been diagnosed, you're exploring the possibility of neurodivergence, or you've known for a while and are still figuring out what it means, I get it.
I bring both clinical training and lived experience to this work, which means I understand the research while also knowing what it actually feels like to navigate a world not built for brains like ours.
we might work on:
Understanding your specific nervous system and needs
Unlearning internalized ableism
Developing strategies that work for your brain (not a neurotypical brain)
Managing executive functioning, sensory experiences, and masking
Navigating burnout and building sustainable routines
Creating a life that accommodates and celebrates your neurodivergence
Trauma shows up in so many ways—hypervigilance, dissociation, difficulty trusting yourself or others, relational patterns that feel impossible to shift, grief that sits heavy in your body.
Trauma work isn't about pushing through or "getting over it." It's about helping your nervous system feel safe enough to heal. My approach is body-centered and grounded in the understanding that healing isn't linear.
complex trauma
my approach includes:
EMDR, somatic work, expressive arts, and grief and loss techniques
Client-led pacing—you decide what we work on, how deep we go, and what feels safe
Building nervous system capacity to process what happened
Finding ways to live fully even when hard things have happened
No matter who I'm working with or what we're working on, the foundation is the same: you know yourself better than anyone else could. My work is trauma-informed, somatic, relational, and rooted in liberation—but more than anything, it's about partnering with you to create space for your own knowing. Healing isn't about fitting into someone else's idea of wellness. It's about listening to your body, honoring your experience, and building a relationship with yourself that feels true. I'm here to walk alongside you in that process.
