Accepting New Adult Clients (21 years or older) in office and via telehealth at BCB!
As a therapist with over 14 years of clinical experience, I consider it a privilege and honor to walk side by side clients who have the courage to take steps to improve their emotional health. I work best with clients who have committed themselves to doing "the deeper emotional work," even when challenging, necessary for healthy long term and sustainable change. Previous clients have described my therapy style as empathetic, caring, creative, intelligent, and straightforward, when clinically indicated.
I work with clients experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, social anxiety, low self esteem, body image issues, challenging relationship with food/weight, disordered eating, and clients with a history of an eating disorder. Experience includes specialization in the field of eating disorders and I have worked in ED Residential, IOP, and OP settings. Additionally, I integrate a trauma sensitive approach to help clients heal from past hurts, and create a life of greater meaning and purpose in the present.
My work typically integrates:
- psychoeducation on healthy coping skills to improve unhealthy or unhelpful emotional responses
- somatic/body-based practices to create greater connection within yourself, your environment, and the people around you
- mindfulness to cultivate increased emotional awareness and insight about present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, this is the first step to creating change
- insight oriented therapy (psychodynamic), which reflects on the past to inform present/current core beliefs, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
Specific Emotional Regulation skills and therapy approaches may also include: DBT, MBSR, CBT, ACT, and Self Compassion. Clarifying core life values, identifying emotional strengths, art/expressive activities are incorporated if clinically indicated/requested.
