Cry, laugh, and heal with me
It is my belief that the things that happen to us aren’t our fault but it is our responsibility to learn how to cope with them. Learning how to cope with distressing thoughts and emotions isn’t a comfortable experience but it can have transformative results. I believe that you have the power and ability to make the changes that will help you create a life worth living. I will work with you to utilize empathy, compassion, and coping skills to break unwanted cycles that are keeping you from the life you want.
I have extensive experience helping individuals with eating disorders successively recover from the unwanted and intrusive thoughts and behaviors that are indicative of the disease. I believe it is possible to heal your relationship with food, improve your body image, and engage in life in a way that aligns with your core values.
I value empathy, honesty, and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship and will individualize therapy to your specific needs. I also value the power of humor, silliness, and authenticity so if you're looking for someone who will chuckle and cry along with you call or email me and lets set something up!
