About My Clients
Let's wrestle with the complexities of being human. Maybe you long for closeness, but deep down fear being abandoned. Maybe you long to be fully seen, but deep down fear that you aren't good enough. Maybe you believe in "body positivity" for other people, but feel at odds with your own body. Reach out, I love this work. Together we will explore your challenges and improve your relationship with yourself, your body and others.
My Background and Approach
"Recovery can only take place within the context of relationship." - Judith Herman. I am a relational psychodynamic therapist. This means that we will explore your relationships past and present, their impact on your concept of self and others, and utilize the therapeutic relationship as a tool for your healing. As a queer therapist, I love working with my fellow LGBTQIA+ community, and I bring a strong anti-oppressive stance to my work. I passionately utilize a Health At Every Size approach to my work with eating disorders and body image. Therapy is a process and we are a team. We will work together to engage your natural capacity for healing, learning, change, and acceptance.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe you are already a whole, healthy human. I believe emotions are natural responses. I believe powerful healing can happen in relationship. I believe all bodies and identities are worthy of love, care and liberation from oppressive systems. "Psychotherapy is a strange field because, unlike any other field of medicine, you never really finish. Your greatest instrument is yourself, and the work of self-understanding is endless. I'm still learning." - Irvin Yalom.
