Certified Body Trust® Provider

She/Her/Hers

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and Tennessee, and a Certified Body Trust® Provider.
While I love this adventure we call life, it brings challenges at every turn. I believe our disappointments, triumphs, oppressions, loves, losses, privileges, injustices, and letdowns give us each a unique story, and that within our stories can be our paths to healing. I believe that you are the expert in your life and that your lived experiences are valid and essential for our work together. I consider it an honor to witness your story, assist you with your goals, and to accompany you in your unique process in therapy.
​
I work both from a neurodivergent-informed and trauma-informed lens. My practice focus is helping guide you in the healing process of eating disorders, disordered eating, body oppression of all forms, and the often accompanying conditions of depression, anxiety, and grief. Foundational to my work are the principles of Health At Every Size (HAES®), Harm Reduction, and social justice. Click here to learn more about Body Trust®, HAES®, and my practice philosophy.
I look forward to connecting with you and invite you to contact me.
