About My Clients
My clients are often overwhelmed with anxiety about eating, their bodies, or their closest relationships. They tend to be self-aware and high-achieving, though they battle a strong inner critic that keeps them stuck in familiar patterns. The majority of my clients are college students, post-grad, and/or part of the LGBTQ community. I work with individuals and couples. You can learn more about my practice at www.welcomeintherapy.com.
My Approach to Helping
I work holistically, attending to mind, body, and spirit in a repair process that honors the unique strengths and needs of each individual. We will go beyond traditional talk therapy to explore the unconscious beliefs and patterns that influence how you relate to yourself and the world around you. Baked into my therapeutic process are the skills of mindfulness and somatic awareness, or building a stronger relationship with your body. Through this work, you will increase your capacity to emotionally regulate, offering you choice in how you respond to life and the chance to make changes that align with your values.
More About the People I Treat
Clients see me when they find their life is no longer their own, consumed by thoughts about food and body. Many struggle with feelings of inadequacy and isolation. My clients are exhausted from the never-ending feedback loop of their behaviors and are motivated to find long-term solutions. I know from personal experience how painful eating disorders can be. I am here to help you turn toward the emotional and psychological factors that drive your behaviors, creating new possibilities for sustainable change. I also work with folks who struggle with anxiety in relationships. This may present as social anxiety, codependency, fear of abandonment, or exploration of sexuality. My aim is to help de-stigmatize the experience of anxiety to create more room for self-compassion. I will also support you in learning how to regulate your nervous system so that we can explore the underlying causes of the anxiety, such as childhood or generational trauma.
