About My Clients
I enjoy working with individuals experiencing challenges including eating disorders, survivors of interpersonal violence and other trauma, ADHD, and other mood and anxiety disorders. I've worked in a variety of settings and I love to get creative to figure out how to solve problems together with my clients. I love working with individuals who are motivated but maybe a bit hesitant or lost on where to start, and who enjoy humor and a conversational approach to therapy.
My Background and Approach
I utilize neuroscience perspectives, trauma-informed therapy, neurodiversity affirming care, and relational therapy aspects in my practice with clients. I pride myself on always taking a collaborative, communicative, and conversational approach. I will validate and listen, but I also will challenge, present other perspectives, and give feedback. I’m a very direct person and I like to take an active role as a therapist. but ultimately the most important thing to me is to work together in therapy to find what works best for you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I always practice from a Health at Every Size (R) perspective, and believe in Intuitive Eating Principals. We live in a world filled with diet culture messaging and I believe it’s important to acknowledge how that impacts us, while finding the balance that brings the most peace in one’s relationship with food and body. Accepting your body as you are can be such a freeing thing. I believe that many challenges come from the protective parts of an individual that help with survival, and understanding this can help us shift behavior into a more sustainable lifestyle. I feel strongly about a non-judgmental approach, and strive to make it so my clients can talk about the shame they feel without feeling that judgment from me. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship can be incredibly healing. It may not feel like every session is groundbreaking (though hopefully sometimes it does feel like this!), but so much healing comes from having a healthy, supportive therapeutic relationship.
