Who I work with
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who struggle with eating disorders, body image challenges, substance use disorders, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders.
I’m especially passionate about working with people who feel misunderstood, experience multiple mental health difficulties, and feel overwhelmed or frustrated with playing “whack-a-mole” with the mental health challenges they face.
I welcome people from all backgrounds, beliefs, ethnicities, identities, sexualities, genders, and bodies, and I practice from a HAES-informed lens.
Treatment Approach
I use an integrative approach that combines various therapeutic methods to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each individual’s needs. This approach is effective for addressing a range of issues from multiple perspectives, making it especially beneficial for those who thrive on diverse viewpoints. My goal is to offer comprehensive and adaptable counseling, grounded in the client’s unique circumstances, preferences, and objectives.
I often draw from the following approaches:
Humanism
IFS
EMDR
CBT
DBT informed
FBT informed (for adolescent Eating Disorders)
CPT (for PTSD)
TF-CBT (for adolescent PTSD)
