Healing is intimidating. It invites you to create new pathways in your brain, new patterns in your daily habits, and new ways of being with yourself. I believe in a therapeutic relationship as the cornerstone to creating space for health, healing, and personal growth. We will collaborate on a whole person approach to your mental health, including whether or not medication management is right for you. I am passionate about providing high quality, trauma informed mental health services. My practice focus includes anxiety, mood disorders, improving one's relationship with food/body (Health at Every Size), supporting expecting and postpartum parents, and providing care to fellow health care providers. -Email is my preferred method of initial contact- I currently have availability for medication management only for clients who are working with an eating disorder focused therapist.

Hey there! Do you want to liberate yourself from debilitating stress, anxiety, shame, irritability, loneliness, numbness, hopelessness, and so much more that is difficult to describe with mere words, but you can feel in your body? Then, let's connect! I am the daughter of Salvadoreño immigrant parents, currently able-bodied, a lifelong learner, and a dedicated EMDR-trained psychotherapist. I am passionate about supporting mothers in reclaiming their bodies as their own, free from external and internal judgments and expectations. I want to support you in moving toward the version of yourself that is life-giving! Let us work together to reconnect you with the part that knows you are worthy of experiencing joy and connection just as you are.

As an eating disorder & sports dietitian, I am passionate about helping athletes and non-athletes alike fuel for their sport and life without losing their shit around food. My favorite part of what I do is forming connections with my clients and reminding them that food is more than fuel and that they are more than a body (and if they're an athlete, that life is more than sport). I use a trauma-informed, HAES-aligned, client-centered approach to educate and empower clients to heal their relationship with food, movement, and body so that they can live the life they want and deserve.

I provide care that rejects the diet and weight-loss paradigm and centers around exploring your relationship to body, food, and movement. I view acupuncture and East Asian medicine from a weight-neutral, social-justice informed lens, and I also offer adjunctive eating disorder care by addressing symptoms of eating disorders and eating disorder recovery such as digestive issues, hormone dysregulation, insomnia, and anxiety. I am invested in providing safer experiences of healthcare so that individuals can connect with and trust their bodies.

I believe that every person, no matter the age, has a story to tell about their lives and it takes a tremendous amount of courage to begin to share this story. As your therapist, my hope is to help you find your voice, speak your truth, begin the healing process and ultimately feel a sense of personal accomplishment along the way. I seek to provide you with clarity of thought and peace of mind and heart. I have a specific focus working with individuals (including children and adolescents/teens), couples and families on issues ranging from eating disorder/body image concerns, depression, anxiety, parenting struggles, couples/pre-marital and marriage counseling and family conflict as it relates to parent/child dynamics. My therapeutic approach is gentle and strengths based. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we will work together to establish goals you wish to achieve. We will actively discuss how you feel about these goals and will also talk about how you know when you have reached them.

I am a licensed counselor. I specialize in helping clients who are struggling with disordered eating, eating disorders, over-exercising, and body image issues. All practices come from a body respect, Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size perspective. While I am not working you will find me hanging out with my husband, two young children, Lucy and Matthew, our dog Lucky and friends and family. As a former school counselor with over a decade of experience, I enjoy working with parents to help them support their children in a variety of areas. However, the primary focus of my practice involves assisting clients struggling with body insecurity, eating disorders, disordered eating, over-exercising, and trauma. My passion for helping clients deal with these types of struggles stems from the fact that I, like countless others, have struggled with food and exercise. As a result, I have both a personal and professional insight in this area

I started Vara Nutrition with a vision of transforming the way we approach and value food, nutrition, and movement. My mission is to support you in shifting your relationship with food from contention and fear to peace and comfort. When I am not talking about food, I like to spend my free time hiking, cooking, paddle boarding, crafting, reading and hanging out with my pup, Lily Bug the Frenchton.

I am committed to offering a space where all of you is welcome, without judgment and without pressure to be anything other than who you truly are. At Restorative Pathways, I help people reconnect with the wisdom of their body, soften patterns of survival, and remember the truth of their wholeness. Through somatic based therapy or trauma-informed bodywork, I support your return to a life shaped by self-trust and possibility. I am in person in SW Portland or virtual throughout Oregon. As an LMT with over a decade of experience, I offer eclectic bodywork combined with Craniosacral Therapy and have an accessible office with a wide, electrical lift massage table to make ALL bodies comfortable. As a counselor, I have training and clinical outpatient experience with teens, adults and elders with eating disorders. I am also a certified Body Trust and Somatic EMDR practitioner. My niche within the world of eating disorder care is working with neurodivergent, gender expansive, and queer folks along with those who have complicated body stories through chronic illness. Your struggles with food may look different or have different underlying reasons if you hold some of these identities or realities. I believe you are worth finding support that understands your unique history and story instead of pushing you into treatment molds that were not made for you. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation to find out more!
