About My Clients
Do you feel controlled by your thoughts or your emotions? Do you feel stuck and find obstacles at every turn? I understand this feeling, it's exhausting, lonely, frustrating and so much more. You are deserving of a peaceful, supported life, even if the thoughts in your head try to convince you otherwise. You are allowed to want more and to embrace change, I am excited to be your partner in this journey, I look forward teaching skills, holding space and encouraging you on your journey to freedom.
My Background and Approach
I work with children, teens, and young adults struggling with eating disorders, body image, sports performance, anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, and interpersonal connection. I work by partnering with my clients to allow them the space to move at their own pace in this journey, while also learning to sit in uncomfortable emotions and finding empowerment in self discovery and self determination. While I am always a support, you can also be expected to be gently challenged as you should never have to wait to see the change you are seeking. I work most often with individuals though, I am also experienced in work with groups and family systems. I offer an eclectic approach that is tailored to you and your specific needs including work in DBT, RO-DBT, CBT, SFBT, and ACT. Whether our session is focused on processing, skill building, body-mind connection, or anything else, you can expect a supportive, open, and conversational experience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that all bodies are worthy, all bodies deserve respect, kindness and compassion. I focus on a health at every size (HAES) perspective as well as a focus in intuitive eating. Your body has been, is now, and will always be deserving of nutrition, love, and kindness. I believe that all humans are inherently good and constantly evolving. Our brains develop coping mechanisms to ensure our safety and survival even if these coping mechanisms are not in alignment with our authentic values; these maladaptive coping mechanisms do not need to be judged or ridiculed, I believe they need to be validated and recognized. You are the expert of your own experience, you know your body, mind and soul better than anyone else, I am excited to join you on your continued journey of self-exploration, discovery and compassion. I look forward to connecting with you, feel free to send me a message or give me a call if you feel we could be the right fit.
