Supervisor

Pronouns: she/her

Compassion and respect are at the heart of my approach to therapy and supervision. As a therapist I focus on reducing the impact of anxiety, intrusive negative thoughts, relationship challenges, postpartum challenges, body rejection, shame, and the impact of past trauma. I help individuals tap into their own passions and needs to move the focus away from unwanted symptoms and onto what you value most. I understand that there are many factors that contribute to the difficulties each person faces and many paths toward healing. I integrate practices from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. I draw from theories of humanism, attachment, and health at every size (HAES), body positivity and anti-diet culture. I find that these approaches emphasize autonomy and respect for people's innate wisdom about their own lives and bodies. I know that we are more than the problems that we face.

I appreciate the authentic connections I am privileged to have with my clients and supervisees.
