About

I work with teen, young adult and adult clients who are struggling to feel safe and confident in themselves or with parts of themselves. This struggle can stem from painful, early childhood experiences or from current stressors. Sometimes, when we try to manage painful emotions, it can lead to a troubling relationship to ourselves, to others, to food, and/or to substances. It may lead to a struggle with feeling resiliency in the midst of life’s changes. It may also disrupt our ability to stay in the present moment. I enjoy helping clients heal from past wounds, build internal resources and find helpful ways to cope with emotions. I utilize a tailored, strengths-based, trauma informed approach, drawing from my training in EMDR and DNMS, in order to work on attachment trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, disordered eating, negative body image, depression, anxiety, relationship/dating issues, and grief. My clients would describe me as warm, honest, helpful and funny.
