Welcome to Empowering Resilience Therapy! Thank you for being here. I recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy- whether it is for the first time or with a new therapist. Finding a therapist who understands and connects with you can be transformational. I am dedicated to providing trauma-informed, gender affirming, and compassionate therapy.
I am passionate about working with clients who are:
Queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill, or fat (and wanting a therapist who shares those identities)
Trans and gender diverse
Healing from complicated dynamics in childhood or navigating current family stressors
Navigating medical trauma, medical gaslighting, or fatphobia
Healing their relationship with food & their body
Developing a healthy relationship with themself through reparenting and self compassion
