It takes courage to reach out for support. Often people reach out when their usual strategies to manage their life fail, and they feel stuck. Are you feeling like you can't think or talk your way out of your unhappiness? The role of the therapist is as a facilitator or guide to help you identify the patterns that are no longer working for you, and develop strategies to heal and change. I will work with you to develop a plan in therapy that meets your individual needs and goals. You can free up energy for the people and pursuits in life that matter. I want to help you get there.
My specialties are disordered eating, trauma/complex trauma recovery, and relationship issues, as well as anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. I use a variety of skills for an integrative approach. I am a Certified in EMDR and am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and I use Health at Every Size principles to guide my work with food and body issues.
I am dedicated to helping my clients improve their lives, and to offer you the support you need to change patterns that are no longer serving you. My style is a combination of compassion, honest feedback, non-judgment, humor, and warmth. You don’t have to stay stuck, and you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out and schedule a free consult today.
