My Ideal Client

For my body image folks, they long to feel at peace with themselves so they may do the things in life that fulfill them without the constant nagging feeling of their human shell. For my ADHD folks, well they just wish they could remember the things they care about, complete the tasks they started, and stop feeling like they're constantly letting people down. And, well, nearly all my clients want to feel sexually confident :)

My Background and Approach

I specialize in eating disorders, sexual empowerment, ADHD, and disorders of over control. I personally have struggled with body image, loss, cancer, over control and ADHD. I've facilitated empowerment groups in California, Oregon and Japan. By creating a safe space to learn new skills and share common struggles, groups are where it's at! While I do offer brief, 10-week individual therapy, I believe strongly in group therapy as well. Group therapy has not only benefited me personally, I have been fortunate to bare witness to the quick and lasting healing of my clients. You may be thinking, "nah, anything but group therapy. No thanks." I invite you to take the risk, to prove to yourself that for less cost than individual therapy, you can have access to mental healing in a safe community.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

If you are looking for a therapist that is a little rough around the edges in terms of demeanor and language while having high-level knowledge of the issues you struggle with, I'd be your therapist. I can be validating but am also one to challenge my clients with difficult questions - humor/sarcasm also plays a big role in my therapeutic approach. Check out my website for more info!

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Body Image Issues External link

    I have extensive training in body image and eating disorders, with primary experience in disorders of over control - namely anorexia and body dysmorphia.

  • Sexual Problems External link

    Body confidence goes hand in hand with sexual confidence. I lean in an Esther Perel direction (Google her, she's amazing) and have enjoyed her trainings. I've found that many of my clients benefit from having both body image and sexual empowerment folded into their treatment.

  • ADHD External link

    I personally struggle with ADHD, was diagnosed my first year of college and have gone most of my life unmedicated. I have learned and been educated in organizational systems (both mentally and hands-on) that lead to a successful and happy life. Do yourself a favor and get a "time timer."
