I primarily work with individuals and couples (aged 18 and up) who struggle with traumatic medical experiences, complex trauma, food and body image issues, anxiety, and grief. I work with my clients to help them gain deeper insight into their inner experiences by understanding how their past experiences impact their present-day thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and relationships. With that said, understanding is just the first step — actually processing and integrating those past experiences using experiential therapy is the next step in the healing process. This can best be described as the difference between intellectually knowing something is true as opposed to actually feeling something is true. To help clients do this, I practice trauma-informed, integrative psychotherapy using a combination of treatment approaches depending on the individual needs of each client. Treatment approaches I have found to be most helpful include Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, and the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework. It is an honor to hold space for my clients as they move through the healing process and begin to feel more present and calm in their daily lives, accessing more self-efficacy and joy, making sense of their challenges, and fully participating in meaningful relationships with others.
