I believe that therapy should be an authentic and sincere experience, one in which you feel understood, heard, and seen as you are. Struggling with body image concerns can feel isolating and overwhelming. You may worry about being judged, feel shame about your relationship with your body, or fear that others won’t understand what you’re going through.
It is not uncommon for us to feel stressed or overwhelmed as a result of life’s challenges, and body images often develop as a way to cope with difficult emotions, trauma, perfectionism, or life transitions. We will work collaboratively so that we can accomplish your individual goals and needs. I believe that you are the real expert of your life, and it would be my pleasure to walk alongside you as you embark on this journey of healing and personal growth.
I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, carefully drawing from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic models including CBT, DBT, Compassion Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care that are tailored to meet the unique and individual needs and goals of every client. Whether you’re working to heal your relationship with food, challenge negative body image thoughts, develop healthier coping strategies, or address underlying anxiety and depression, I’m here to support you.
I aim to create a solid therapeutic relationship and safe space where you can express yourself fully, without fear of judgment, in order to foster compassionate relationships with yourself and others.
