Are you feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or dealing with distressing or traumatic events that leave you feeling lost? Are you experiencing an unhealthy relationship with food or body image? Are you trying to free yourself from toxic relationships or patterns that are keeping you from living your best life? Therapy can provide support in helping you find a balanced relationship with food and body image, as well as find ways to manage overwhelming emotions, navigate difficult relationships, and traumatic events. I have over 16 years experience as a Clinical Psychologist and would be honored to be part of your healing journey.
I have training in evidence-based techniques that incorporate specific tools, strategies and goals, including psychodynamic, interpersonal, CBT, attachment-based and Mindfulness approaches. I also work to raise awareness of ways in which your body may hold distressing experiences in unspoken ways using experiential interventions.
Regardless of approach, the therapeutic relationship we build together is the most important component for successful outcomes. Connection is key! We will explore your experiences from your perspective in a non-judgmental and compassionate way, then find recognized and innovative therapies to fit your needs through collaboration.
