(Not taking new clients) I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. Many people who come to see me also struggle with body image struggles and disordered eating. I am a certified eating disorder counselor that operates from a Health at Every Size perspective.

Within Health is an enhanced, intentionally remote PHP + and IOP + program offering eating disorder and disordered eating treatment to all people 13+. Within Health is licensed to serve 40+ states and offers full, comprehensive wrap-around care necessary to help our clients maintain and sustain their lives while simultaneously receiving eating disorder treatment.

I have been working in the field of eating disorders since 2013, supporting clients in residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient levels of care. I am passionate about helping people cultivate better relationships with food and learn to trust their bodies again (or maybe for the first time ever). My areas of expertise include disordered eating/eating disorders, diet burnout, pre-natal and post-partum nutrition, and weight-neutral, non-diet management of PCOS. As a Certified Body Image Coach and a Health at Every Size® practitioner, I pride myself on creating a space that is safe for all bodies.

Having a chronic health condition and an eating disorder can be tough. Taking the first steps toward food and body image healing takes courage, and I'm so happy you’re here. I'm a weight-inclusive Certified Nutrition Specialist and Licensed Dietitian working from client-centered, gender-affirming, Health at Every Size® principles. I believe that all bodies are good bodies. My practice specializes in supporting adults with eating disorders and co-existing chronic health conditions like IBS, food intolerances, migraine, POTS, MCAS, Type 2 Diabetes, and PCOS.

Admitting that you may need help and being willing to be vulnerable is the first step to healing, I am proud of each and every person that initially walks into the therapy space. I have a strong passion for walking alongside those in reaching their goals. I have 5+ years of different forms of coaching others in aligning with their values, reaching their goals and seeing them thrive. ​ I strongly value the individual person and their unique strength, qualities, and values that make up who they are and set them apart. I believe in empowering the person to empower themselves so that they can be confident in their directed behaviors, feelings and thoughts. I believe that each person holds an invaluable amount of worth and deserves to be seen, heard and loved. My three core values that direct every aspect of my life are: joy, strength and resilience and I am passionate about others finding their foundational values in life. ​ With my specialization in eating disorder recovery I am passionate about walking alongside those struggling with distressing thoughts, feelings and behaviors surrounding food and themselves. I believe that no one has to be “sick enough” to seek out care for their disordered relationship with food. I recognize that Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate out of any mental illness and strive to create a comprehensive care team for each client struggling, if needed. I go off of the 5 R’s of Recovery: Rest, Refeeding, Reprogramming, Restoring and Rediscovery. ​ I also work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, building on self confidence, and defining life values. I offer and have experience in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strength Based Therapy and Family Based Therapy. For those who desire, I also offer faith based therapy with an inclusion of the spiritual component of the holistic person. With providing faith based care I emphasize a psycho-social-spiritual collective of the individual and see these three aspects as a three legged stool, if one is not working the entire stool will be impacted.

Life can be as painful as it is beautiful. It’s not always easy to be our true selves. We are here to support you in living life authentically and without shame - to be confident in the person you truly are. Together we will celebrate the positives and work through the challenges that life presents. We believe your personal goals can be achieved and your struggles can be overcome with support that meets your needs. We can move from a place of insecurity to a state of knowing who you are and how to be in this world. We will provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which to discover yourself. We feel at home in the work that we do and genuinely look forward to empowering you in the life that you lead.

I am committed to offering a space where your whole Self is welcomed, 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, pleasure, and possibility. I am in person in SW Portland or virtual throughout Oregon. As an LMT for over 10 years I am trained in trauma informed Myofascial Release & Craniosacral Therapy and I have an accessible office with a wide, electrical lift massage table to make ALL bodies comfortable. As a counselor, I am trained in eating disorders from Lewis & Clark College, have clinical outpatient experience with teens, adults and elders with eating disorders. I have also finished training as a Body Trust provider and am awaiting final certification and am a certified Somatic EMDR practitioner.

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 am a multicultural POC therapist using somatic & talk therapy to help you work through barriers to connecting to your authentic self. I specialize in substance abuse, eating disorders, relational issues, trauma, and oppression-based difficulties. I utilize an attachment-based, relational approach to explore your struggles in the context of your personal relationships and larger social structures. You can expect our sessions to be collaborative, compassionate, and culturally-affirming. My eating disorder work is informed by the Health At Every Size (HAES) & Body Liberation frameworks.
