About My Clients
Clients see me when they find their life is no longer their own, consumed by thoughts about food and body. They struggle with feelings of shame, inadequacy, and loneliness due to holding most of their experience inside. Many of them have had childhoods where emotions were avoided or chaotically managed. They are exhausted and motivated to find better ways of coping. The majority of my clients are college students, post-grad, and/or part of the LGBTQ community.
My Background and Approach
My degree is in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Mental Health Counseling. I also have post-graduate training in Somatic Attachment Therapy. This means I work holistically, attending to mind, body, and spirit, in a repair process that honors the unique needs of each individual. We will go beyond traditional talk therapy to explore the unconscious beliefs and patterns that drive your behaviors. We will help you learn how to sit with emotional discomfort by using coping strategies that feel nourishing rather than harmful. Eventually, your increased capacity for emotional regulation will offer you choice in how you respond to life, and the opportunity to make changes that align with your values. In our work together, I will support you to reduce anxiety, establish self-compassion, and reclaim a life on your terms.
My Values as a Therapist
I believe that we all have inherent wisdom that guides us toward healing. The body and soul naturally seek wholeness, and healing occurs when the mind steps back to allow this organic process to unfold. I have witnessed this time and time again, whether it's riding a wave of emotion to arrive at relief and spaciousness, or honoring the body's cues for balance and well-being. Using the skills of mindfulness and body awareness, I will guide you through this process. I will also empower you to trust what is true for you, interrogate norms that don't align, and discover more of your authentic self.
