About My Clients
Are you struggling with your relationship with food? Do you find yourself dissatisfied with your body image? Do you feel at times anxious or sadness and are not sure why? I know it can feel isolating to be struggling with these thoughts. Together we will figure out what is going on and work to get you to a place of feeling more satisfied and fulfilled.
My Background and Approach
I strive to provide a safe, supportive and healing space for you. My treatment style has been described as calm, warm, empathic, authentic and nonjudgmental. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my specialization is in the treatment of eating disorders, which includes experience through The Renfrew Center. I also specialize in trauma from working at HopeWorks in Maryland and I hold a Certificate in Advanced Trauma Treatment from The Ferentz Institute. My therapeutic approach is a collaborative one, both of us working together in a safe and comfortable environment to achieve mutually identified goals. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches based on individual needs and can work with you to determine which approach will be most successful. I will be able to provide you with concrete interventions (grounding exercises, thought restructuring) for short term relief while also helping you explore the root cause of your feelings in order to gain more awareness long term.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone has a potential for growth and change. I believe that often times how we feel is influenced by past experiences and relationships with others. I feel privileged to be able to provide a safe space for people to start the journey to more awareness and satisfaction. When I was younger I spent a lot of time volunteering in different parts of the country helping those less fortunate which is is what drew me to this work. I believe a commonality among most people, despite difference in background, is the desire to feel heard and understood. I feel grateful to be able to provide that for my clients.
