“Hopefulness lies in knowing that while early experiences shape the nervous system, ongoing experiences can reshape it” - Deb Dana
I fully believe that every human has done and is doing the best they can with the tools they have or were given. Whether the tools are effective or ineffective, they are often what was learned, interpreted and stored in the body and mind. Thankfully, the body and brain are malleable, and able to change. Together, we will work to re-align with your needs, and core-values; change any interpretations to an unhelpful narrative; and build regulation tools, to cultivate a new path forward. There is hope and I am so honored to join you on this next part of your journey.
I approach therapy through a trauma informed lens. My intention is to create a safe space as an empathetic witness and collaborative partner in your therapeutic journey. I will bring in authenticity, laughter, presence, hope, and intentional moments of silence. My goal is to support you in finding and trusting your inner voice, embrace your worthiness and strength, experience safety in using your body as a resource, and reinforce your internal sense of self-agency.
My areas of focus are;
Trauma informed care, LGBTQIA-affirming, harm reduction, DBT, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, substance recovery, PTSD/CPTSD, embodiment and somatic work.
Approaches I most often use;
Health at Every Size®, I endorse Intuitive Eating, body neutrality, radical acceptance, and body liberation; DBT, Somatic, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Trauma Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I have previous experience in social work providing housing-first and strength-based care. In addition, I have experience providing individual, group, and family therapy in different settings such as a psychiatric inpatient hospital for adolescents, an eating disorder residential treatment center, and a Comprehensive DBT-focused outpatient practice.
I work with clients ages 14 and up.
I facilitate a body image group called Embodiment.
I accept Aetna, Cigna, & United/Optum insurances.
