Upward Spiral Connections, PLLC is open for business.
“Upward Spiral Connections” was born out of hearing clients (and myself) say “...and then I spiraled.”
My goal is to take a statement that has had largely negative connotation in the world.
If we can spiral downward, we can spiral upward…it may take a little bit more work than a downward spiral, but it can be done!

Work with Me
I value social justice, personal growth at your pace, and change how my clients want to allow change into their life during my therapeutic work with them. I truly value collaboration with my clients, as it is their journey not mine. I practice from a relational approach and utilize harm reduction with my Eating Disorder clients. I believe “recovery” is a deeply personal goal and can look different for everyone and I want to honor the process my clients and the path they want to take. I value connection with my clients, and use humor in my work, as well as challenging and gently pushing my clients to go deeper into their work and growth. My goal with Upward Spiral Connections is to be the most inclusive, collaborative, and caring provider I can be. I acknowledge my unearned privilege of a straight sized, white, able bodied ciswoman and actively work to challenge my biases and learn from people with lived experience. I strive to be an ally and an intersectional feminist, while acknowledging these titles are not something I can bestow on myself, and continue to work to be deserving of these titles.
