My Ideal Client

Here's some of my specialties that you may be struggling with: *burnout, overwhelm, chronic fatigue *food and body image struggles *chronic illness/pain, autoimmune disorders, cancer *neurodivergence and highly sensitive people *parenting and caregiving *divorce and co-parenting *identity exploration *spiritual exploration, religious or cult trauma *breaking intergenerational patterns *mid-life transitions *ageing *complex trauma

My Approach to Helping

You might have survived by disconnecting, over-performing, or shrinking. What if there was an alternative? Through compassionate and collaborative therapy, I help you find calm in the chaos, rebuild trust with your body, and gently reweave the threads of self-worth, pleasure, and belonging by being the person only you can be. It is my passion to help you understand, accept and learn to trust yourself. Our work together centers on inclusion and respect, I believe in meeting you where you're at without judgement and keeping it compassionately reaI. Like our bodies, therapy isn't "one size fits all" and I have many tools to draw on for support. I am radically identity and neurotype affirming and have experience in working with eating disorders and complex trauma. I am a certified Somatic EMDR provider, a certified Body Trust provider and have additional training in MBNET, IFS, and Somatic Psychotherapy.

My Values as a Therapist

I'm a HAES aligned, neuro affirming therapist who welcomes all clients including LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, disabled, global majority, and gender expansive/non conforming & trans folks. You deserve care that can hold space for your whole self, where all parts of you are welcome. I also acknowledge the many current oppressive systems in power. Sometimes an important part of our work will be to investigate these systems and how they have infiltrated your sense of self, worth and safety. I also strive to keep any inherent power imbalances between us in check by practicing humility towards this process and keeping you centered as the expert of your experience. I'm a life long learner and committed to my own personal growth, I believe in walking the talk. I've seen the power that the right fit of therapy and therapist can provide in our healing and I consider it a privilege to be able to pay that forward with others.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • EMDR External link

    I am a certified Somatic EMDR provider combining elements of somatic processing with EMDR protocols for trauma processing.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • PTSD External link

    I am a certified Somatic EMDR provider and have completed training in MBNET (mentalization based narrative exposure treatment) that is especially effective for complex interpersonal trauma. I understand the difference between PTSD and CPTSD (complex trauma) and how to approach both as well as have lived experience healing from trauma. I believe this professional and personal experience helps me be capable of walking alongside you in the hard truths in your story.

  • Spirituality External link

    I have lived experience with a variety of spiritual and religious environments, I understand the very personal process of spiritual deconstruction, exploration and identity making. I hold a wide space for accepting how this shows up for you (or doesn't!) and how you may want to bring that into our work together. I am also deeply cognizant of the harm that can come from spiritual organizations and understand how to reclaim your sense of self and worth outside of these systems.

  • Eating Disorder External link

    I've trained in and worked with teens and adults struggling with eating disorders as well as additional training understanding the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ or neurodivergent folks with food challenges. I currently work with those that have a history of an eating disorder and are in the maintenance phase of their recovery or those with intrusive disordered eating. I also offer support for parents, family and partners of those with an eating disorder.

  • Aging Concerns External link

    Having worked with teens to elders, I understand that transitioning through different life stages greatly impacts our mental health. I particularly understand the effects of peri-menopause and menopause as well as how mid-life presents us all with an opportunity to confront our mortality that can feel both disruptive and also potentially transformational.

  • Parenting External link

    I work with caregiver burnout, overwhelm, changing generational parenting patterns, addressing intrusive trauma that affects parenting, parenting children with an eating disorder or who are neurodivergent, and parental identity loss and formation. In addition I also work with those navigating divorce and/or co-parenting. I help parents find acceptance of the messiness and reality of parenting while creating realistic self care amidst the joy and chaos.
