Do you often criticize yourself for making a mistake or worry that you are a bad person? Do you tend to blame yourself when something goes wrong? If so, you are not alone. I work with folks on learning how to ground in the present moment when these feelings are overwhelming and how to create new ways of seeing themselves. I also work with my clients on discovering how they came to develop these tendencies based on cultural, familial, and societal messaging. I have specialized training in eating disorders/disordered eating, trauma, anxiety, depression, and perfectionism. I often work with women exploring queerness for the first time.
I work from a psychodynamic perspective or in other words, I am interested in how your past informs your present. I believe in the mind-body connection and am passionate about helping people learn how to connect back to their body. I have a background in astrology and will weave it into my work with clients who also resonate with it.
I believe the most foundational piece of a successful therapy is the connection you feel with your therapist. At the core of this for me is listening to and honoring how you define yourself and your experiences. I strive to bring warmth, compassion, and thoughtfulness to my work with each client. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to email me!
