My Approach |
I believe that every client needs an individualized treatment program. Therefore, my practice incorporates elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Additionally, I use a Health at Every Size informed approach to treatment. I am a neurodiversity affirming therapist.
I am passionate about helping individuals to recover from eating disorders and body image issues, to discover self-compassion, food freedom, and body appreciation. I do this work, because i've been there. Everyone's struggle is unique, however I remember how it felt to be consumed by an eating disorder. I love being able to help others to find the same freedom that I did. I am so grateful for my work and couldn't picture doing anything else. |
