About My Clients
Do you have a chronic condition such as fibromyalgia, IBS, carpel tunnel syndrome, or lower back pain? Have you tried surgery, drugs, physical therapy, chiropractics, acupuncture, but nothing seems to work? I’VE BEEN THERE AND I’M LIVING PROOF THAT YOU CAN HEAL! I provide psychotherapy in which we will create safety for you in order to explore these scary feelings. Through this process, you will become more aware of your feelings and they won't be scary anymore! You will heal from this.
My Background and Approach
My approach is trauma-informed, which means I treat the whole person, not just symptoms . My lens is "What happened to you" vs "What's wrong with you." I work psychodynamically which means we talk about the past to understand what unconscious processes are impacting a person's current life. Through bringing thoughts and feelings into conscious awareness, my clients learn to make new choices that help improve their lives. I have training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems. My goal is to create a warm, safe, non-judgmental atmosphere and a relationship based on mutuality and trust where you can heal and move forward in your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that we heal in the context of relationships. When we feel seen, heard, and understood we can be free to become who we were supposed to be and are able to achieve contentment through close relationships. I care deeply about de-stigmatizing mental health care and mental health issues. Additionally, I have a particular interest in Health At Every Size and consider myself to be Fat Positive. I am trying to fight against weight stigma and fat phobia and make the world a safer place for people in all body sizes.
