About My Clients
I specialize in working with folks who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and disordered eating. I help clients build healthy coping strategies, process underlying issues related to unhealthy eating habits, change behaviors, and build resilience. A lot of my clients disconnected from their bodies in order to cope with stress, trauma, and societal expectations. I help guide you back to experiencing safety and contentment in the body.
My Background and Approach
If you just need to vent, I'm here for you; however; I will also offer useful skills that you can take wiith you long after our work is done. I utilize mindfulness practices to help clients acknowledge and cope with feelings and sensations in the body. If you're experiencing anxiety, let's talk about it and move through it. I will help you confront the anxious thoughts head on and challenging thinking. Depression looks different on everybody, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. I will help you process thoughts and feelings related to depressed mood, develop effective coping skills, shift your view of yourself and the world around you, and begin to live life more fully. If you're seeking help for disordere eating, I will work closely with you to develop effective coping strategies, like urge surfing and mindful eating, so that you can have a healthier relationship with food and feel more free in day to day life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe our mental health and wellbeing is heavily influenced by our communities, socioeconomic factors, and historical/systemic racism and discrimination. I work to decolonize therapy, which includes unlearning white patriarchal worldviews and helping clients expand definitions of wellness beyond the narrative pushed by late stage capitalism.
