disability & Chronic illness

I work with many clients who are living with chronic pain, illness, and/or physical disability. If this is a part of your experience, know that I am one of you. I understand the impact these issues can have on our mental health, relationships, and quality of life. Our society has a long way to go toward providing access and equity for all bodies, but in the meantime I can help you with things like self advocacy, reducing shame, working with internalized ableism, healing from traumatizing medical experiences.

Please note: I am offering teletherapy only at this time (video or phone), so you can attend from anywhere, even your bed.

Body LIBERATION

We all struggle to love and accept our bodies as they are, but people who inhabit the world in bodies that don’t fit into society’s norms face unique challenges that are internal/psychological and also social, medical, economic, and cultural.

I have spent the last 20 years working to love and accept my own non-normative body. If self-love and acceptance are something you are wanting for yourself, I can help. If you’re not there yet, but you want a therapist who won’t shame you for your body or your feelings about it, I can help with that too.

This is hard work, and wherever you are with it is ok.
