My practice is rooted in body liberation, meaning I believe all bodies are deeply worthy of acceptance, compassion, and care and understand that many people considering therapy may be carrying the baggage of living in a world where it isn’t safe to accept yourself. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and appreciate the rich diversity that exists amongst different body shapes and sizes. I believe effective treatment for eating disorders and body image issues involves nuanced conversation about navigating a medical system and a culture preoccupied with weight and size.

I love helping people find an easier way to manage their lives that feels less effortful and more sustainable.

I am highly relational in my work with clients, and I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply known, seen, and understood. I believe that in the context of such a relationship, hopefulness and change organically take place.

I have experience working with eating disorders at all levels of care, including inpatient, residential, partial hospital, intensive outpatient, and outpatient. I combine my clinical expertise and your lived experience and wisdom to provide a collaborative approach to treatment.

Hi, I’m Jac! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, who has been working in the mental health field since 2015 providing individual, group, and family therapy in residential, inpatient, day treatment (PHP/IOP) and outpatient settings.

I have held various leadership positions across inpatient, partial hospital, and intensive outpatient levels of care in eating disorder treatment facilities, where I developed a passion for supervising and training new clinicians, as well as ensuring that folx are treated at the most appropriate level of care.

My office is a safe space to be exactly who you are. I identify firmly as a weight neutral, HAES aligned, affirming provider.

My experiential expertise in eating disorders aside, I am fortunate to have had experience working with folx with many different goals and needs, with particular interest areas of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am also specifically trained in CBT for insomnia.

I utilize an individualized eclectic approach to best serve you, because one size rarely fits all.

In session you will find I often utilize principles and ideas from DBT, CBT, ACT, and other evidence based practice, but most importantly my focus is on creating an authentic relationship with you and being your trusted teammate. It is not uncommon for me to utilize humor in session because laughter is truly some of the best medicine I know of.

If you’re looking for a provider who wants to earn your trust and walk with you through the great times and the messy ones, please reach out to me and let’s find a time to connect.

As of October 2024 I keep a small waitlist for interested prospective clients but I do not have active openings.
