For the client who's been carrying more than they should have to
Maybe you've spent years managing your body so it would take up less space — physically, emotionally, in a room. Maybe food became a way to hold onto control when so much else felt uncontrollable. Maybe something happened that your nervous system never quite let go of, and it shows up now in ways that don't always make sense — even to you.
I work with people navigating the space where eating disorders and trauma overlap — because so often, they're tangled together, even when it doesn't look obvious from the outside. I also welcome neurodivergent clients, and bring that lens into how I understand your experience, rather than treating it as separate from the rest of your story.
Therapy with me isn't about being handed a checklist for fixing yourself. It's about finally being met — fully, without judgment — so that change becomes possible, not forced.
I draw from a range of evidence-based and body-informed approaches, tailored to what you actually need rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol:
TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) — both areas I'm trained in, used to help process traumatic experiences and shift the beliefs they've left behind
EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) — for building a more secure relationship with your own emotions and the people in your life
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) — for building skills in distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and staying grounded in the moment
Somatic techniques — because trauma and disordered eating live in the body as much as the mind, and healing often needs to include both
HAES (Health at Every Size) and Intuitive Eating — because healing your relationship with food and your body doesn't require chasing thinness or "fixing" your body in the process
