About My Clients
Being highly sensitive in this chaotic, abrasive world is hard enough. But when misguided attempts to calm your nervous system or improve your self-esteem go awry, you're left depleted, disconnected, and hopeless. Obsessing about food or your body fills a void, gives you purpose, and maybe takes your mind off the craziness, for a while. But you know you're missing out. You know this isn't living...it's just surviving.
My Background and Approach
Like my clients, I know what it's like to live in long-term survival mode. I didn't always know what it meant to be highly sensitive, how it affected me, or how to harness its gifts for my own betterment. Now I do, and I want you to as well. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, including EMDR Therapy for treatment that is unique to you and fosters whole-self healing. Above all, I believe that it is in safe, supportive relationships that we heal. Our work will be about more than simply coping so that you can get by. It will be about making the kind of changes that will help you thrive. I believe you (yes, YOU) can heal the wounds keeping you stuck, stop fighting with or fearing food, learn to embrace and respect your truest self, and live your best life. You might never feel 100% ready, but you can start today. Reach out for a chat and an infusion of hope, or check out my website to read more. I look forward to connecting with you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that you are the expert on you and your experiences. I believe sensitivity is a gift. I believe that change and healing are possible for everyone. I believe that full recovery from an eating disorder is real. I believe in Health At Every Size and the importance of a social-justice framework. I believe that despite your pain, you are an incredible, powerful human. I believe that you are inherently worthy of love and care, no matter what. I believe that we can do hard things like go to therapy and that we can live better for it. I believe that loving and accepting ourselves just as we are is the greatest act of courage. I believe that we can dispel shame when we share our story with someone who can hear it with empathy and understanding.
