About My Clients
People I work well with describe feeling controlled by food, weight, chronic dieting, guilt, shame, overthinking, and worry. They struggle with feeling like they aren't good enough, something is wrong with them, or that they're 'too much'. We work together to heal from the past that created these beliefs and rebuild trust, kindness, and a peaceful relationship with food and oneself. They feel like they are able to get their life back and "just eat like a normal person".
My Background and Approach
One of my favorite healing modalities is Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) - a form of therapy that can reduce the distress, vividness, intensity of emotions, and body sensations of an event or issue that's bothering you. We will focus on processing out negative core beliefs (ex. "I'm not good enough', "I'm unworthy") and installing positive core beliefs (“I’m enough”). Whether you are struggling with work, relationships, body image, or a traumatic event, EMDR can be an effective treatment. I also use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. They provide helpful coping skills to work through and tolerate the full range of emotions that comes with living a full life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I use a Health At Every Size approach which means I welcome all sized bodies and believe everyone deserves to be valued, respected, and accepted as they are. This is a space where we cultivate body appreciation, body acceptance, and body liberation. As a 'fat positive' practitioner, I want every BODY to know they belong here, they matter, and body diversity is celebrated. They have a therapist who promotes radical change against diet culture and other systems of oppression. My office is a space where we work to free ourselves from toxic cultural beliefs & expectations and reclaim our lives.
