Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
My passion is to provide a empathetic and nonjudgmental space for clients struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, anxiety, body dysmorphia, body image issues, shame, depression, and recovering from past traumas. My approach to healing is through developing a trusting therapeutic alliance. Looking at the social, cultural, familial, learning, and peer influences, as well as the genetic factors, personality traits, and biological factors out of our control is important to understand what brought you here today. Our experiences, both good and bad, shape who we are. Creating an individualized and holistic plan for each client utilizing ACT, Self-Compassion, DBT, CBT, and somatic experiencing based practice to help you in your journey to wellness. Know that you are not alone in struggling with body image, shame, disordered eating, and find yourself overwhelmed with the thought of seeking help. It is progress not perfection and I look forward to helping you take the first step in the direction you would like to go.
