I provide counseling for women struggling with disordered eating, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and more. I am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS) through IAEDP and an Eating Disorders Informed Professional through ERC. I have completed specialized OCD training through Harvard Medical School and am a Clinical Trauma Professional. I will integrate Christian faith into sessions at the client’s request.
I believe in an eclectic approach to therapy since no two clients' stories are the same. I use techniques from cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, dialectical behavioral, humanistic, exposure and response prevention (ERP), and other modes of therapy.
In the first session, the client and I are getting to know each other! I'll ask questions about her specific symptoms, how these symptoms are impacting her life, and what goals she wants to achieve through counseling. I want to learn as much as I can in the first session so I can create the most helpful treatment plan with goals that enable us to track our progress.
