My Ideal Client

Suffering often means we struggle in our relationships with others, food, money or ourselves. We call this anxiety, depression, trauma and many other things. But no matter what language you use to describe these struggles, relational healing is possible. The core struggles I have found myself holding with my clients are eating disorders and PTSD. If any of these relationships feel broken in your own life, I'd love to guide you toward more authentic connection.

My Approach to Helping

I am passionate about growing self-compassion and acceptance in my clients. I have years of experienced working with people using Health at Every Size and trauma informed care. My goal is to guide my clients into paradigm shifts that lead to healing and a more fulfilled life. I look forward to getting to know you and build a relationship toward your own version of healing! If you are looking for this kind of help lets schedule a consultation.

My Values as a Therapist

My number one values as a therapist are empowerment and autonomy. These values of guide me to work with my client in a way that emboldens their personal intuition to find healing that feels best to them. This usually includes work on self-discovery, self compassion, emotional regulation, and support through small and large life changes. I am especially passionate about walking alongside people from the LGBTQI+ community, promoting body size equality, and helping people who suffer from suicidal thoughts.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Feminist External link

    Nadine was trained in Feminist Theory primarily during their education. This therapy focuses on processing a whole view of self and suffering. You can expect to be guided through assessing your internal work, your external world, the systems and environments affecting you, and how all of these parts build stories that drive our lives.

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Eating Disorder External link

    Nadine has worked with adults with eating disorders for the last six years. They use a large variety of tools to guide anyone struggling with food and body toward a more authentic relationship with self that promotes healing. Nadine uses a Health At Every Size paradigm to address the systemic issues of weight loss and diet culture. The harmful weight bias of our word might be harming your relationship with yourself and everyone deserves a deeper connection to your truest self.

  • PTSD External link

    For many years, Nadine has walked along side people with many types of trauma and in a wide variety of stages of the healing process. They understand that addressing trauma looks different for everyone, and therefore offer varied intensity of work from gentle cognitive work to deeper processing such as somatic work and IFS.
