About My Clients
If you are looking for someone who truly understands the complexities of living with chronic pain, chronic illness, or eating disorders, I am here to help. If you are feeling hopeless in your struggle with an eating disorder, please know that you are not alone and that recovery is possible. If you are ready to move beyond past trauma and painful experiences, I can support you in finding healing, safety, and practical tools to help you move from simply surviving to truly thriving.
My Background and Approach
I am an LMHC, a certified eating disorder specialist, EMDR and Brainspotting trained, certified in pain reprocessing therapy, and an author. I am also a qualified supervisor for registered mental health counselor interns. For my approach, I like to combine techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused approaches such as EMDR and BrainSpotting. I strive to provide a collaborative relationship with the client so that together we work towards their goals. I operate from a health-at-every-size approach and provide an inclusive, safe environment for all people. I am passionate about incorporating creativity and healing through expressive arts and writing if the client wants to use this in their therapy journey. I also truly believe that healing starts through building safety through building a therapeutic rapport with the client.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone should feel seen, heard, and validated in their emotions. Additionally, clients heal in safety and inclusive environment. I am part of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals and work on fighting against the dangers of diet culture. I believe all bodies are good bodies and building a peaceful relationship with food. I was a former nurse and have lived experience with an autoimmune disorder, so I truly understand things such as medical trauma and the complexities that come with chronic pain and chronic illness.
