Introduction

I'm so glad you're here! I am a creative, authentic and highly empathetic psychotherapist with practice rooted in anti-oppressive values. I am particularly skilled at weight-inclusive care, trauma-sensitive treatment, engaging adolescent clients, and am committed to practices that affirm neurodivergence, gender identity and more. I practice from a predominantly relational perspective and am eclectic in my use of evidence based treatment modalities. Please feel free to schedule a consult call to learn more. If you've gotten this far, it's clear that you are committed to working towards cultivating compassion towards yourself, or hoping to support your child in doing the same. It's an important step to take, and I am honored to be a potential part of this journey.
