Holistic healing of mind and body

Hello!  What a courageous step you are taking in your healing journey to seek therapy.  Welcome.  Therapy is a space to expand what is going on in your life, notice your coping mechanisms with less judgment and more curiosity, decide and move towards your personal values and find freedom. I take a mind-body approach to healing with an eclectic style of therapy that emphasizes the innate worthiness of us all. We could be a good fit if you are looking to explore the impact of past experiences on your here and now body sensations, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. 

I have a dual degree in Clinical Psychology and Nutrition with specializations in trauma treatment and utilize eclectic bottom-up therapies including Somatic Experiencing Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have been honored to work in inpatient and outpatient eating disorder, addiction, and mental health treatment centers and with transgender females within a male prison system which has emphasized the need for social justice oriented inclusive therapy. I am committed to providing a safe space for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, People of Size, and all marginalized groups. I strive to be multiculturally competent  through advocacy, self education, and truly listening to others’ experiences. Part of my role is to help you work towards self love and acceptance in order to de-internalize stigmas and learn to fully advocate for yourself.  These are powerful tools against the impact of discrimination and marginalization in health care and in our society.

As a nutritionist and mental health counselor, I am committed to Health at Every Size ® and Body Trust. I find that our relationship to food and nourishment shares a lot about our relationship to ourselves. And as needed, I am passionate about helping you find peace within your relationship with food and your body through collaborative, intuitive, mind-body healing including the integration of nutrition and mental health counseling by bringing awareness to thoughts, feelings, triggers, and moods that contribute to nutritional choices and vice versa.  I also utilize my nutritional knowledge in healing body inflammation created by trauma responses.

On a personal note, in my time outside of work, I can be found around town with my wife and toddler at various coffee and tea shops, parks, playgrounds, and sidewalk dining.  I love cooking, fermenting, audio book listening, hiking, kayaking, and patio gardening.
