| Therapist Intro | Everyone needs help sometimes. The folks who are most likely to get that help in sessions with me are healing from any number of things- eating disorders, diet culture, trauma, or just the act of living through some truly unprecedented times and experiences. Clients always benefit the most from therapy when they are motivated to work on things important to them rather than something someone else has identified as a "problem," and working with me you'll find someone who will honor that. I have recently joined NC Therapy Professionals, a group that shares my values! I am a Health at Every Size provider specializing in the care of folks who have eating disorders. I have significant experience working with folks who have experienced trauma. I can help you address things through EMDR, DBT, CBT, and ACT therapies. I also use IFS-informed interventions. I'm extremely person-centered and trauma-informed. I have special affinity for fat clients and LGBTQ+ folks. |
