When supporting a client through their recovery, I often begin by exploring the adaptive quality of the eating disorder to shed light on why it may have developed and to combat any shame the client may be experiencing. We then work to externalize the eating disorder by differentiating the disordered thoughts and urges from a client's healthy self. We work together to build motivation for recovery and develop the skills needed to combat unhealthy impulses that may arise.

It is my belief that our early attachments, especially those with caregivers, shape the way we each relate to others and our environments. In working with me, we will collaboratively bring awareness to these early interpersonal dynamics and process them together, so my clients can eventually show up more fully and effectively in their relationships.

The human psyche is extremely wise - it works to protect us. Because of this, sometimes when content is too scary or painful to face we shuttle it to our unconscious. I believe that anxiety arises when this material inevitably emerges within our conscious realm. For this reason, I like to create a safe container for my clients to access and process materials that may feel too threatening to face on their own.

When working with my clients, I am always checking in on what early dynamics may be emerging in the therapeutic space. With this understanding and awareness of my own internal processes, I am able to tailor my approach to meet the developmental needs of my clients so they can heal from any early wounding that is still impacting them today.

DBT does not imply that one's way of thinking is wrong, rather it opens an individual up to multiple, equally valuable realties. In this type of work, I support my clients in developing the mindfulness and coping skills needed to slow down, recognize the full scope of their situation, and act from a place of wisdom rather than maladaptive impulse. I implement DBT interventions when working with clients struggling with eating disorders, self-harm and addiction.

The therapeutic relationship in the space where change and growth occurs. In working with my clients, I meet them where they are and relate to them in a manner that communicates that their way of being is understandable. As our trust grows and more corrective experiences unfold in the therapy, clients are able to increase their sense of self and relate to others and their environments in a more effective and meaningful manner.
