About My Clients
I am passionate about supporting clients through a range of concerns, including but not limited to body image distress, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, sexual/gender identity development, sexual shame related to religious background, jealousy, infidelity, and communication difficulties.
My Background and Approach
With extensive experience in trauma-informed care, I understand that our relational styles often originate as self-protective mechanisms in response to challenging or traumatic situations. Through counseling, I guide individuals towards recognizing which patterns no longer serve them while fostering self-compassion for the past versions of themselves that endured hardship. By collaboratively illuminating and reconfiguring these patterns, I empower my clients to cultivate self-compassion and embrace healthier ways of being. I am passionate about working with both couples and individuals. I recognize that individual and relational wellbeing are inextricably intertwined, and even “individual” problems such as depression or trauma will impact (and be impacted by) our relationships.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am LGBTQ+ affirming and understand the key role that an individual’s cultural identities, including age, race/ethnicity, gender, and more, play in shaping our worldview. I also embraces a body neutral, Health at Every Size- oriented approach, firmly believing that all bodies are beautiful and that body size, shape, and appearance should not dictate sexual empowerment or satisfaction.
