About My Clients
I specialize in eating disorders, adolescents- young adults, anxiety and self esteem issues. I believe in empowering the person to empower themselves so that they can be confident in their directed behaviors, feelings and thoughts. With my specialization in eating disorder recovery I am passionate about walking alongside those struggling with distressing thoughts, feelings and behaviors surrounding food and themselves.
My Background and Approach
I believe that no one has to be “sick enough” to seek out care for their disordered relationship with food. I recognize that Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate out of any mental illness and strive to create a comprehensive care team for each client struggling, if needed. I go off of the 5 R’s of Recovery: Rest, Refeeding, Reprogramming, Restoring and Rediscovery. I also work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, building on self confidence, and defining life values. I offer and have experience in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strength Based Therapy and Family Based Therapy. For those who desire, I also offer faith based therapy with an inclusion of the spiritual component of the holistic person. With providing faith based care I emphasize a psycho-social-spiritual collective of the individual and see these three aspects as a three legged stool.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that each person holds an invaluable amount of worth and deserves to be seen, heard and loved. My three core values that direct every aspect of my life are: joy, strength and resilience and I am passionate about others finding their foundational values in life.
