I'm down over 100 lbs down and I believe I can help you do the same. Depression. Trauma. Relationships with your body and food. You are not alone. If you feel that regular therapy has not helped, you are in the right place. Talk therapy is beneficial. Experiential therapy such as those I specialize in, can improve your quality of life, help you feel true love for yourself, decrease triggers from past trauma, and allow you to establish a healthy relationship with food and your body. You can learn to give yourself most of the things you need, in a healthy way, and balance it with healthy relationships with others.

I utilize techniques from EMDR, DNMS (parts work), and others. Listening, authenticity, trust, laughter, and encouragement are qualities I bring to the therapeutic relationship. Clients often express that I am easy to talk to and empathetic. Clients also report that I help them find deep healing, not just surface level.

Reaching out is both the hardest and best step we can take for our mental health. Let's work together to see you become the best version of yourself.

I often use parts work and EMDR as a great healing combo for clients. We begin with creating internal resources to establish a sense of emotional stability and the opportunity to parent yourself. Then we identify triggers and/or memories that may be contributing to your mental health. We put all of these together using bilateral stimulation (tapping) in a way that allows you to heal yourself.
