About Meredith

The Basics

I am a white, cis-gender woman in my mid-40s.

I am a Canadian immigrant to the United States and I come from a middle class background. I am also chronically ill and dynamically disabled, which means that my level of disability varies over time.

I am also a part of the fat positive community and many of my clients seek my services in order to have a counseling experience free from weight bias.

It’s important for me to acknowledge that I have many unearned privileges in life, such as being white, having had access to higher education, and being smaller than many others on the spectrum of fatness.

I have lived in Portland with my husband since 2017. We have two young cats, Wilfred and Charlie, whose passions include turning off light switches and chewing everything in sight.

In my spare time, I take piano lessons, I love crosswords and jigsaw puzzles, and I enjoy cycling around my neighborhood when my body is up for it!
