Disordered Eating & Body Image
I specialize in supporting individuals on their journey towards healing from disordered eating patterns and cultivating a positive relationship with food and body image. As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I am deeply committed to promoting Health At Every Size (HAES) principles, and dismantling the harmful effects of diet culture. If you're struggling with disordered eating or body image issues and are ready to embark on a journey towards healing and self-compassion, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation. Together, we can work towards reclaiming joy, freedom, and peace in your relationship with food and body.
Women's Issues & Perinatal Mental Health
As a therapist, I understand the complexities of womanhood and the societal pressures that women often face. Whether it's balancing multiple parenthood and career, coping with perinatal mental health challenges, or confronting systemic inequalities, I am committed to addressing the diverse needs and experiences of women with compassion and understanding.
My approach to therapy is rooted in feminist principles, which honor the strengths and lived experiences of women and center their voices and choices in the therapeutic process. I believe in creating a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship where women feel validated, supported, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
My Approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and respect for each individual's journey. Drawing from my warm, calming, and authentic style, I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. I believe in the power of humor to lighten the mood and foster connection, while also maintaining a direct and honest dialogue to address challenges head-on.
Within this safe and nonjudgmental space, clients are encouraged to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors with honesty and vulnerability. I recognize the courage it takes to confront difficult experiences and believe in empowering clients to embrace their journey towards healing and growth. My approach is trauma-informed, meaning I am attuned to the impact of past traumas and prioritize creating a sense of safety and trust. Additionally, I am culturally-sensitive and acknowledge the influence of diverse backgrounds and experiences on each individual's perspective.
By integrating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness with a primarily attachment-based lens, I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you're seeking healing from past traumas, striving to overcome disordered eating habits, or navigating the complexities of adolescence, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.
