Practice Areas
While not exhaustive, below are some of the areas in which I’ve received extensive training and most frequently work with in therapy.
-
Eating Disorders
We are all born into this world as intuitive eaters. Many of us, unfortunately, are exposed to messages from diet culture that lead us away from our innate relationship with food. Others may have a neurobiological makeup that makes it challenging to meet their body’s nutritional needs. Learn to break free from disordered eating behaviors and heal your relationship with food.
-
Body Image
Many people struggle with negative perception of at least one part of their physical appearance. For centuries, diet culture, which is rooted in racism, has led many to believe that some bodies simply are not acceptable. Together we can unpack and challenge unhelpful messages about physical appearance in an effort to free-up headspace that is consumed by negative body image. It’s time to make peace with your body and give diet culture the boot.
-
Trauma
Most people will experience some form of trauma over the course of their lifetime. Whether it be a one time event or a chronic experience, trauma can affect the way we think and feel about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Sometimes we can heal naturally from trauma, other times we may need additional support to shift unhelpful thought patterns and behavioral responses to trauma.
-
Mood Disorders
When life circumstances change, it is common for people to experience shifts in mood or prolonged periods of stress. It may be time to seek support when emotions, such as anxiety and depression, start to get in the way of living your life to the fullest. Learn strategies to help you work through challenging situations and feel balanced in your everyday life.
-
Relationships
Social connection and experiencing a sense of belonging are fundamental elements to mental health. Improve the quality of relationships in your life by learning communication skills and setting healthy boundaries. Gain support as you break free from relationship dynamics that may be preventing you from healing.
-
College & Young Adulthood
The transition from adolescence to young adulthood is riddled with change, leading many to experience adjustment difficulties. Increasing support and learning skills to better tolerate distress can help ease the transition for many, whether they be heading off to college or living away from home for the first time.
