It is an honor to meet you.
I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders or disordered eating that are looking to heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and movement. I am passionate about doing my part in my small corner of the world to imagine a world where people do not hate their bodies, where food is neither glorified nor demonized, and where every person no matter their size is worthy of respect, trusting their body, and equitable healthcare.
I have worked in a number of settings including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient medical facilities, university-based counseling clinics, and work with active-duty military.
I specialize in conducting eating disorder training for mental health clinicians as well as speaking engagements for academic conferences and community organizations. I am a freelance writer and have written for online publications such as Mother.ly. I have also been quoted in local newspapers such as The Santa Rosa Press and written for therapeutic treatment center websites such as Monarch Wellness and Psychotherapy.
I live in the Bay Area, California with my husband, son, and King Charles Cavalier named Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. I enjoy playing basketball, traveling, and drinking matcha lattes.
