About me
I am an experienced therapist passionate about supporting individuals with a variety of challenges, including navigating Eating Disorders, ADHD, and trauma.
I have extensive experience working with eating disorders, trauma, and ADHD, as well as other mood and anxiety disorders. I believe that many behaviors come from the protective parts of an individual that help with survival, and that understanding this can help us shift behaviors into a more sustainable lifestyle.
I utilize neuroscience education, trauma-informed care, and Health at Every Size perspectives. I also use relational model of therapy, as I truly believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Sessions with me will likely feel conversational, while I also provide direct and empathetic feedback to challenge perspectives to help you live your most fulfilling life in the way that is best for you.
