With my background in Eating Disorders and Body Image, I work with clients in redefining their worth and relationship to their body through fashion. I use ERP, ACT and CBT approaches to support clients in exploring their identity through clothing. I view fashion as a physical manifestation of one's identity that can be used to replace the unhealthy focus on one's body size/shape to focus instead on self expression. This can be empowering and allow for additional outlets for clients to develop coping skills focused on harnessing joy and creativity in their everyday lives. INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS ONLY.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals process and reframe distressing thoughts related to trauma. The focus is on identifying and challenging unhelpful and inaccurate beliefs that have formed as a result of the trauma, such as self-blame or mistrust. By working through structured exercises, clients learn to evaluate these thoughts and replace them with more balanced and realistic perspectives, ultimately reducing the emotional impact of the trauma and improving daily functioning. CPT is particularly effective in treating PTSD and trauma-related symptoms, fostering long-term emotional resilience.

Group provides a space to explore underlying aspects of the self and relationship patterns while building tolerance for navigating interpersonal dynamics. Members are encouraged to express their challenges, feelings, and reactions openly and honestly as they arise. Members learn to move through their thoughts, feelings, and reactions in the moment, gradually developing the skills to observe and articulate their inner experiences. Many of us are accustomed to acting on our thoughts and emotions automatically—group helps us slow down and notice what is happening “behind the scenes” in our own minds.
