I specialize in working with people who a) feel like their body will never be "good" enough or “healthy” enough & have been led to believe "fixing" it is a matter of "will-power," &/or b) feel their lives are a cycle of crisis & distress, ending up in a deeper "hole" with each passing day. I am trained in EMDR and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with 3 years of experience working in an eating disorder treatment program for clients with co-occurring mental illnesses.
Clients and colleagues alike have described me as a "golden retriever"--I bring positivity and humor to our sessions, ready at any moment to "sit" beside you and hold space for your feelings. We will be equal partners with my approach to therapy. My DBT background, EMDR training, & humanistic framework combine processing/reframing of your experiences with learning coping strategies to help you deal with them in the future. I am also Health at Every Size (HAES) & trauma-informed.
Together we will figure out what’s most important to you, how to get it, and start removing obstacles one at a time. Our focus could be helping you to stop fighting your body, get relief from your life as it is, and/or simply embracing your true potential. What's important to you is important to me!
