Greetings, I'm Jo!

I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming provider with passions that include helping others overcome anxiety, depression, and negative views of themselves. I truly desire to help others to love and accept themselves.

I am also a registered dietitian, and my decision to pursue the path of social work was inspired by my desire to support folx as they navigate food and body image struggles. My experience in dietetics revealed that nothing is "one size fits all" — and that prescriptive advice in personal matters tends to hinder healing.

My Philosophy

Healing begins with safety

These are the core beliefs that shape every session I hold.

Every decision holds meaning

I believe there is a reason for every decision an individual makes — even when it seems counterintuitive. Understanding that reason is where healing begins.

01
Safety unlocks the surface

I regard a sense of safety as the foundation for exploring what lies beneath. When you feel safe, you can begin to attune to and honor your truth.

02
You deserve unconditional regard

My approach centers around unconditional positive regard — helping you build trust within yourself so you can love and accept who you truly are.

Where dietetics meets therapy

As both a registered dietitian and a licensed clinical social worker, I bring a uniquely integrated perspective to healing — one that honors the deep connection between the body, food, identity, and emotional well-being. Nothing about you is "one size fits all."
