My Approach to Helping
I work with individuals, couples, and families around a variety of mental health concerns, but specialize in working with women and adolescent girls who are experiencing struggles around body image, problematic eating behaviorseating disorders, and substance abuse. As women, we receive a wide variety of messages about who we are vs. who we should be. Holding onto these messages plays a large role in the development of mental health issues. Understanding these life experiences that have shaped who you are today is an important step into interacting with yourself in different way.
More Info About My Practice
Struggling to feel comfortable in your body? Wanting a sense of peace with food? Using drugs and alcohol to cope with life? I can help. Willingness to make change is a key factor in successful therapy. I work to help build and strengthen this motivation to make life changes in my clients. My goal as a therapist is to help you step into a more positive relationship with yourself and others that impacts all areas of your life.
My Role as a Therapist
Finding a therapist can be an incredibly daunting task. You want to find someone with whom you feel safe and can trust. I believe you are the ultimate authority on your own experience. A therapist serves as witness, narrator, teacher, advocate, or simply a kind presence - whatever is most helpful and needed for you at the time.
My Therapy Focus
My main therapy focus is helping you navigate through those struggles that you feel are holding you back in your life. Everyone goes through rough patches in life, and sometimes we are left feeling stuck. Body image issues, substance abuse, and other mental health concerns can all be the result. Having someone who is willing to listen to what you are struggling with, help you clarify goals, break old habits, and manage feelings more effectively can be extremely helpful.
