Thank you so much for being here, reading this! Trust in the therapeutic relationship is my top priority in my work with clients; my approach is rooted in person-centered therapy. In collaboration with my clients, and to meet the unique needs of each individual, I may also bring in tools and techniques from a Self-Compassion lens, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
I work with clients to explore how trauma might influence their self-concept, the ways they experience and relate to their body and to food, and the ways they navigate this world. I help individuals explore and reframe unhelpful messaging they may have received from the past or from systemic influences. I work with clients in their journeys of attuning to their body, to their relationship with food, to their values and to their most authentic self.
As a trauma-informed eating disorder clinician, it is important to acknowledge that "we cannot treat eating disorders [or co-occurring mental health concerns] without considering the impacts of white supremacy, colonialism, capitalism, healthism, diet culture, fatphobia, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, misogyny, classism, casteism, and all other forms of oppression" (@the_queer_counselor). As a white, able-bodied, cis-gender female, I acknowledge the unearned privilege I carry with me, and I commit myself to the continued learning and unlearning necessary in providing anti-oppressive therapy.
