Available virtually in Rhode Island, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Life Coach who draws on a variety of holistic tools to support you, including over 20 years of experience in trauma counseling, stress, and PTSD. I also help clients experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism and control issues, social isolation, and intimate partner violence.
Specializing in eating disorders, I have my own lived experience as a fat woman recovering from anxiety, disordered eating, body image struggles, and grief and loss. I understand how “health” and “nutrition” have been co-opted by diet culture, and I help clients learn and practice new ways to build more peaceful relationships with food, their bodies, and themselves.
I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which is also known as Parts work, Health at Every Size® (HAES®), which is an alternative approach to providing healthcare to fat people that doesn’t focus on weight loss, and Intuitive Eating, and I am in the process of earning my certification as a Body Trust® provider.
Holistic health goes beyond the physical and incorporates psychological, emotional, spiritual, cultural, interpersonal and social determinants of health. True well-being includes making connections, doing work that is meaningful, feeling fulfilled in your life, and pursuing what really, deeply matters to you – not losing your precious energy and time trying to change your body.
Ready to reclaim your voice? Done with “shoulding” on yourself? Tune out those external directives and reconnect with your inner Self. We all have stuff to work through, and none of us can do it alone. You already have what you need to get to where you want to be – let me guide you through uncovering it.
