Through life you may feel as though you are in a constant fight with yourself. Where the history of your battles have not been won, but only suppressed. Overtime they are unknowingly disarmed and you find yourself walking across an unknown terrain that triggers you to fall apart. With this comes the ability to pick up your broken pieces and put them all back together healthily. What is great about being human is the ability to learn and grow.

If you are struggling with your relationship with food, you are not alone. Our food environment can be a confusing minefield to navigate. Not to mention, we’re faced with harmful dieting messaging, confusing (and often contradictory) information about optimal health, a culture that’s obsessed with looks, and powerful emotional and biological urges to eat. All these factors can contribute to a quite complicated relationship with food and our body. If you feel like food is controlling your life, I want you to know that a different way of living is possible.

You are stronger than you think you are and have the ability to make change happen, but life is complicated and it's easy to lose your way and forget this. Together we will work to identify goals and objectives, build on strengths, and overcome challenges so you can move forward. I'm passionate about working with people of color, humans exploring their identities, and those searching for meaning and purpose in life. I also enjoy mentoring early career social workers and I hold a Certificate in Core Supervision issued by the NASW. I am licensed to practice in Michigan and in Vermont via telehealth.

We are all facing intense situations and it is easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and struggling with who we are and who we want to be. It is common to notice the patterns that we repeat over time in our lives and continue to do automatically. I believe deeply that when we are supported in processing what is coming up and connecting with our values, we grow our capacity to show up and build the world we want to live in. I strive to hold space for adults who have experienced impactful events that make it harder to be the person they want to be. EMDR is a powerful approach to rewire these patterns and open new possibilities.

I use a strength based, collaborative, and mindful approach during treatment. I practice from a trauma and attachment based lens bringing mindfulness and curiosity into each session. For over 15 years, I have been successfully working with children, youth and families. Together we will explore past and current stressors and how these experiences have impacted habits and coping styles with an understanding that each of us adapts the best that we can to obstacles in life. We will look at areas in your life where you are feeling stuck and explore what you need to move forward.

I combine traditional talk therapy with integrative and holistic approaches that calm the nervous system, access inner knowledge, strengthen the Self, and develop new ways of coping with challenges. These can include breath and relaxation, guided imagery, meditation, and energy psychology. I also teach cognitive behavioral techniques to change harmful thought patterns. Based in current brain science and ancient wisdom teachings, I help people utilize the healthy and mature parts of themselves to become more conscious, integrated, and whole.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
