What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal is to be collaborative, supportive, and directed toward goals that are important to you. We will work together to determine the biggest impediments that prevent you from living your life the way you want. We will utilize evidence based techniques to develop skills and understanding that help you live a better life. Treatment is tailored to each client, so I focus on getting to know you and how you want to live your life, and what is stopping you.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize Intuitive therapy for eating disorders, shame informed therapy, CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness techniques. I also utilize creative therapies when deemed appropriate; such as play, art, music, and mindfulness.
