About My Clients
Are you always worrying about "making up" for what you ate? Do you despise swimsuit season, family gatherings, or trying on clothes? Are you trying to find a way to make your body "feel" the way you identify? Disordered eating and body image concerns are consuming issues. They often tie back to messages from our past or current stressors that feel out of control. Let's work on these NEW emotions and transform those old stories to find peace in the body you have today.
My Background and Approach
I have worked in the inpatient/residential setting for eating disorders and the outpatient setting for close to a decade. I know that BIG SAD will require more than looking at something cute to cheer you up. I understand that when you are feeling so overwhelmed, your throat gets tight and is going to require more than "take a big breath". Those are great tools. Let's diversify your toolbox. Let's add more tools so you are equipped to ride the waves that life throws at us. We will learn together to attend to the emotions in your body and how to release the energy. Throughout graduate school and licensing, I have attended trainings, read books, and received continuous supervision on how best to attend to trauma in different individuals. There will be no cookie-cutter treatment plans here. I want to join you on your journey and build a collaborative team around you to give you the best shot at healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
"Well, it actually wasn't that bad" is the narrative that I want to help all clients rewrite. Throughout life, things happen to us. I believe that all the things that we see, do, and experience are held within our bodies. I do not believe that "health" is a moral obligation. I believe that ALL bodies deserve respect and kindness AND PROTECTION. I know that these beliefs are counter culture. I have and continue to volunteer my time for social justice movements/activities in all of my surrounding areas. Although I belong to the Ravenclaw house, I will not judge you for belonging to any other house or being a muggle. I would have studied mythical creatures and traveled the world with Newt. I stand with Emma when she said, "I am here for **ALL** the witches". There will be no judgment here in any form.
