I provide trauma informed psychotherapy, specializing in eating disorders, perinatal & postpartum mental health, anxiety disorders and attachment. Clinically, my training has focused on polyvagal theory, attachment, exposure and response presentation, CBT, DBT and the treatment of eating disorders. Prior to counseling, I worked as birth doula and childbirth educator, shaping the work I now do to support women in all stages of parenting. You can expect appointments to be warm and conversational, leaving with practical strategies that you can implement immediately.
Our mental health is affected by every part of our lives - how our nervous systems developed, the thought patterns we cycle through, the relationships we have today and the relationships we have left behind, our environments, our developmental experiences, our natural predispositions - all of it matters.
Healing involves a whole-body and whole-life approach. Integrative counseling pulls from a variety of evidence based interventions and treatment modalities to meet the individual needs of the person. Using a trauma-informed lens and careful attention to who you are and what you need, we will look beyond the “symptoms” to restore balance and joy.
