You look like you’re handling it, but on the inside you are trying to survive the next 5 minutes. Maybe you are stuck in OCD loops, distress/anxiety, rigid rules around food/body. Or you’re still holding the weight of a traumatic event. You struggle with boundaries. Perhaps you have a restless inner critic that often says “you’re not good enough”. Relief is possible ! My work is trauma and depth informed to address underlying/rooted issues so that true and lasting healing can occur.
I offer you a deep passion for this work along with 15+ years of experience in the mental health field. I’m EMDR certified . I specialize in trauma care, OCD/anxiety issues and eating disorders. My goal is to help you feel empowered/confident, safe in your body, learn to effectively manage anxiety/OCD and cultivate healthy relationship with food/body.
I offer you a space free of judgement in where you can explore your emotions with openness and honesty. My hope is that therapy provides an opportunity to understand yourself on a deeper level and not just tools that get you through the week. Feel free to reach me with any questions and to determine if we would be a good fit. You can do hard things.
