Nice to meet you

I'm an extensively trained clinician with regard to trauma, anxiety, stress, and mood disorders. I am body positive and a proponent of Health At Every Size and ability. My goal is to help your authenticity grow- which inevitably creates less suffering. Nonjudgmentalness, genuine acceptance, accountability, warmth, and humor are the main pathways of support to expect from me. Radical change and healing are VERY possible. I match well with those who are misunderstood, misinterpreted, marginalized, or the 'Black Sheep.’ I connect well with people who want to find their identity, acceptance, and need practical coping skills.
