Hello! I'm Merrill, a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and I'm passionate about supporting people who struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, and trauma. My clients often describe themselves as smart, intuitive, driven, or sensitive people, and they frequently know the exhaustion of impostor syndrome, people pleasing, and following food rules. I specialize in collaborating with clients finding freedom from a constantly chattering inner critic, and clients seeking self-confidence and the inner safety to rest.
I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while also using techniques from Internal Family Systems Therapy and Embodied Recovery. I am currently working toward becoming a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, and I'm committed to practicing from a sexually affirming, multiculturally humble, body positive, & trauma informed position.
Together we can reduce body image distress, cultivate resiliency, explore LGBTQ+ identity, find sexual health, manage relational conflict, and process experiences of pain, guilt, or trauma. Most importantly: while in counseling, I hope you feel perfectly safe to be exactly who you are while also exploring who you want to be without judgement or shame.
