About My Clients
Many people I work with describe experiences of being dismissed or discounted by others, or being given messages about their body, value, and worth, that have only led to dissatisfaction and low self-esteem. In our work together, we will explore the complex world of women’s issues and women’s health, explore body image and self-perception, learn strategies to calm your nervous system, and explore ways to manage co-occurring symptoms like depression, anxiety, and stress and trauma.
My Background and Approach
My specialties include working with highly sensitive people, ADHD support, body image work from a HAES perspective, self-compassion and self-esteem growth, and healthy relationships and boundaries. In addition, I specialize in supporting individuals with PCOS and/or IBS. I have personal experience in these areas and am passionate about helping others heal their minds and bodies and feel more empowered. I also like to incorporate holistic and integrative approaches in therapy when clients are interested in this. An overall theme in my work with clients is facilitating growth and liberation from old beliefs, external messages that no longer serve you, and exploring your most authentic self. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a major factor in healing, so I place a lot of value on building trust and meeting people with warmth and unconditional acceptance. I also bring a bit of humor and light-heartedness to sessions because therapy doesn't always have to be hard!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I identify as a white, cis, heterosexual, neurodivergent female. I acknowledge the privilege that this identity allows me, and I strive to be a provider who is conscious of and actively works to dismantle systems of oppression. I also strive to be open to feedback in these areas. I am passionate about celebrating all body types and dismantling the diet culture, fat phobia, and weight stigma that is so pervasive in our society. I am on the board of my local NAMI affiliate chapter and enjoy volunteering with my therapy dog at schools and other locations.
