Breaking free from disordered eating in a society that encourages it IS possible. Here’s how we’ll accomplish it together.
Statement of Inclusivity
I aim for my practice to be a truly safe and supportive space for folks of all races, colors, cultures, religions, spiritual practices, genders, ages, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, gender identity or gender expressions, relationship statuses or configurations, national origins, or physical and mental abilities.
My Nutrition Philosophy
I am a provider who is committed to Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating principles. This means I reject the notion that weight determines health and embrace the idea that all foods can be part of a balanced diet. I avoid labeling foods as "good" or "bad" and steer clear of rigid rules about eating times or quantities. My approach is to lead by example, and I prioritize listening to my body's cues and honoring its needs.
Therapeutic Modalities
As a therapist, I feel strongly that one size does not fit all and therapy should be custom tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs, however, I do incorporate elements of different evidence-based therapeutic modalities. I lean towards modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I am also trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for the treatment of trauma.
My Therapeutic Style
My first and foremost goal as a therapist is to build an authentic, genuine connection with my clients. I characterize my style as being gentle, but direct and firm — I strive to be a trustworthy provider who both creates a safe space for healing and is willing to deliver difficult truths when it is necessary. I’m also a firm believer that laughter is truly the best medicine and I value incorporating humor into my practice whenever possible.
