I am a queer trans woman, AuDHD, and a trauma-oriented therapist specializing in eating disorders and gender exploration. I have trainingin Jungian psychotherapy, , Emotion focused therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT). These give me a working set of approaches to shape treatment around what is actually getting in the way for you.
There are real commonalities in what humans struggle with, and each person also carries a history, a body, and an inner world that belong only to them. I want to understand yours and stay close as we follow whatever is alive in the work. Therapy is one of the slow ways back to the parts of yourself that have been hardest to live with.
Ultimately, I want to help you feel better and that's more important than any theory. Let’s talk about who you are, what you want, and where you want to go in life, and how the past and other barriers are blocking you from that. Some therapists offer you a totally different way of seeing things, whereas I want to offer you a clearer you.
