Atticus is passionate about providing affirming, inclusive therapy for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community and those navigating body image challenges. He understands how identity, gender expression, and societal expectations can complicate the relationship people have with their bodies. Atticus works with clients seeking support for disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and the emotional weight of trying to fit into a world that often enforces rigid beauty standards. With warmth and compassion, he creates a space where clients can explore these experiences without fear of judgment.

His therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration and curiosity, as well as Health at Every Size (HAES). Atticus integrates evidence-based modalities like Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Theory, and Strengths Based Theory. He also incorporates trauma-informed care and a social justice lens, recognizing how systemic factors shape personal experiences. Atticus believes healing involves both challenging unhelpful narratives and fostering self-compassion, helping clients develop a more accepting and connected relationship with their bodies.

Atticus has supported clients across various stages of their healing journeys. He is particularly attuned to the needs of queer and trans clients, offering specialized care that affirms each client’s identity and lived experience. His dedication to ongoing education ensures his practice remains informed and inclusive.
