Regardless of family structure, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, race, or other minority identity, you are welcome. Though it’s up to you to determine whether I meet the definition of ‘ally’, I strive to provide a welcoming, inclusive, safe space for all, and view therapy through a social justice lens. My specialties are family separation trauma (adult adoptees), disordered eating, sexual and domestic violence recovery, childhood trauma, family secrets, and oppression & discrimination. Many of my clients struggle with shame, perfectionism, restriction, fat stigma, narcissistic families, child and adulthood sexual abuse, childhood orphanage experiences, search and reunion, and DNA discoveries.
I’m an adopted person (reunited 25 years), someone who’s experienced burnout and body image/disordered eating issues, and someone who’s gotten through it with deep and extensive self-care, reflection, and big life transitions. I get it – change is hard, but you already have what you need within you to make it happen.
