Connect with Winter

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor experienced in working with individuals of all ages and walks of life, providing care and support for those facing eating disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, and more.

I understand deciding to seek help may be an extremely difficult decision. Having a safe space to go for support is at the top of my priority list as a human and therapist. Within my work in the eating disorder population, I am an anti-diet and Health at Every Size focused provider who is passionate in using a Salutogenic, social justice lens to approach and explore body image, weight stigmatization, and more!

I use an integration of trauma conscious modalities and inclusive approaches with clients, including ART, ACT, mindfulness-based approaches, DBT/CBT, polyvagal theory, and Client Centered modalities. I am an advocate for members of the LGBTQ+ community and am deeply passionate about providing an affirming and safe space for all individuals.

My goal is to assist my clients in exploring their true self while connecting to their immense capacity for growth and establishing safety and peace within their lives. I'd be honored to assist you in this journey.

Hi, I’m Winter.

  • Winter works with adults navigating eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, anxiety, and depression. They are especially passionate about supporting individuals who are working to heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves in a culture that often reinforces harmful and unrealistic standards.

    Winter is an anti-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES)-informed therapist who brings a trauma-conscious and socially aware lens to their work. They are deeply committed to providing affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients and creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and grounded in respect for each person’s lived experience.

    Winter integrates approaches such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and polyvagal-informed work to support emotional regulation, healing from trauma, and a stronger sense of connection to self. They tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, drawing from both evidence-based and body-aware approaches to foster insight, resilience, and lasting change.

    Winter offers both in-person therapy in Phoenix and telehealth services throughout Arizona.

  • “I have never met a heavy heart that wasn’t a phone booth with a red cape inside,

    Some people will never understand the kind of superpower it takes for some people to just walk outside,

    Some days I know my smile looks like the gutter of a falling house,

    But my hands are always holding tight to the ripchord of believing”
