Eating Disorder & Body Image Healing.
We believe all bodies are beautiful! We believe that being body positive is hard in a world that is racist, fat-phobic, transphobic, ageist, ableist, classist, sexist, the list goes on. Our culture sells us one size fits all in bodies that can never fit that space. Through HAES, Intuitive Eating, Meal Coaching, Anti-Diet work, DBT, and Art Therapy we can build an authenticity that transcends.
Queer Joy.
Feeling at home in ones authentic self, feeling safe, secure, valid and loved both internally and externally can big the GREATEST JOY and the biggest struggle. We believe IN you and we believe you have it in you to be your most magical self. Queer joy in all its forms is here waiting for you.
Gender Affirming Care.
We don’t just believe in Trans Care, we have experienced it and believe your ability to be YOU. Having walked this journey both personally and with many clients, we value the deep connection of the therapeutic relationship and what it brings.
