About My Clients
You wake up wondering if it will be a “bad” day or a “good” day knowing that your body will make that decision. You might have migraines, stomach issues, and even chronic pain. You're overwhelmed with managing a chronic illness, organizing doctor’s appointments, and keeping track of symptoms. You get embarrassed at the thought of feeling bad when you go out - so you just don't go out. You’ve become obsessed with “eating clean” or you have lost the ability to tell when you’re full or hungry.
My Background and Approach
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I've helped clients with acute medical problems just like you feel safe in their bodies again. If you’ve had a traumatic childbirth, complicated surgery, or long hospital stay or recovery, painful memories can prevent you from feeling fully connected to others and even to yourself. Your body is your first home. It’s where you spend the most time, and you deserve to feel safe in it. Together, we will work to help you find relief and feel comfortable in your body again. Call or email today to schedule your free consultation and explore my website for more resources on health anxiety and medical trauma.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm neurodivergent affirming - meaning I recognize that for those of us who are ND, we can become hyper focused on each new "problem" in our bodies or each new sensation. Medical problems can also be related to disordered eating. When you experience pain in your body (from a chronic illness, medical trauma, or painful recovery), you might find yourself disconnecting from your body to avoid that pain. This can make it harder for you to pick up on your body’s hunger cues - leading to an unhealthy relationship with food. I'm a HAES (Health at Every Size) and anti-diet practitioner. In my free time, I foster cats (some of them might make an appearance for your telehealth appointment!) and I recognize that losing a pet, especially to acute medical issues, can be one of the most painful experiences.
