For work focused on body liberation and/or eating disorders, it is important for us to untangle negative beliefs you may have about your body due to oppressive systems such as racism, fatphobia, cisheteropatriarchy, and ableism. We will also explore how trauma and attachment have impacted your relationship to food and your body. I draw from somatic approaches to support you in reconnecting with and learning to feel more at home in your body. My approach is informed by Health at Every Size (HAES®) principles and also recognizes the harm that traditional eating disorder treatment models can perpetuate.

When working with the impact of diabetes, I strive to support you in developing strategies to support the anxiety, hypervigilance, shame, and/or burnout you may experience living with any type of diabetes. I draw from my own experience as someone who has had type 1 diabetes for 32 years.
