It’s important to me that therapy is a safe place where clients can show up as their authentic selves and leave feeling seen, heard, and understood. My ideal client has a desire to be connected and to grow. Clients come to me who are feeling stuck, numb, overwhelmed, anxious, avoidant, disconnected, lonely, and lost. Together (and at your pace) we will build the mind-body connection and regulate the nervous system. Together we will find a way back to your joy, your freedom, and a meaningful connection with yourself & others.
I utilize methods from compassion focused therapy, somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory, & DBT. I am EMDR trained and level 1 certified in AEDP. I specialize in treating eating disorders & body image issues (with a weight neutral, HAES/Intuitive Eating approach), trauma, survivors of narcissistic abuse, ADHD, anxiety, depression, & general life stressors.
I have experience with the LGBTQ+ community, adults, teens, couples, & families. I know how challenging it can feel to find the right therapist for you. If something I've said here speaks to you, feel free to reach out so that we can set up a 15 minute phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit for each other.
