Specialities

  • Eating disorders are serious mental and physical health conditions that can profoundly impact a person’s relationship with food, their body, and movement. Eating disorders can impact individuals of any body size, race, gender, age, and socioeconomic background. They often develop as ways of coping with underlying challenges, including trauma, chronic illness, sensory sensitivities, and nervous system dysregulation. Healing from an eating disorder is complex and deeply personal work that deserves compassion, patience, and specialized support.

    Working with a therapist who has experience treating eating disorders can help ensure that care is individualized, evidence-based, and attentive to the underlying experiences and needs contributing to the disorder. Therapy can provide space to explore these roots, develop supportive coping strategies, and begin building a more compassionate relationship with food and your body. You deserve care that honors your lived experience and supports you in moving toward lasting recovery.

  • Navigating the process of seeking and receiving a diagnosis for a chronic health condition can feel exhausting and overwhelming, especially when faced alone. Along the way, many people experience medical trauma, systemic invalidation, and delays in receiving the care they need. Receiving a diagnosis can also bring grief as you begin to process the ways chronic illness may shape your life, identity, and future.

    Therapy can offer a soft place to land as you navigate these experiences. Together, we can make space for grief and uncertainty, strengthen your self-advocacy, and explore what it means to build a meaningful life alongside chronic illness. You deserve support that honors your lived experience, validates your needs, and makes room for both the challenges and possibilities ahead.

  • Trauma can shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Whether resulting from a single overwhelming event or repeated experiences, trauma can have lasting effects on the nervous system, sense of self, and ability to feel connected and grounded. Complex trauma often develops through prolonged or repeated experiences, particularly in relationships or environments where safety, trust, and support were absent.

    Healing from trauma is not about simply moving on or leaving the past behind. It involves understanding how past experiences continue to affect the present while gently building a greater sense of safety, agency, and connection. Therapy can offer a space to process what you have experienced at your own pace, develop supportive ways of navigating difficult emotions, and reconnect with yourself.

Approaches

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you build a more flexible, compassionate relationship with your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Rather than focusing on eliminating difficult feelings, ACT supports you in making space for discomfort while identifying what matters most to you. Together, we can explore ways to move toward your values, navigate challenges with greater flexibility, and build a life that feels meaningful and authentic to you.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you navigate intense emotions, build distress tolerance, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. DBT emphasizes balancing acceptance and change, offering practical tools to manage difficult moments while fostering self-compassion.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that helps you understand the different parts of yourself and the roles they play in shaping your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Rather than viewing certain parts of yourself as problems to fix, IFS encourages curiosity and compassion toward the ways these parts have learned to protect you.

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based, trauma-focused therapy that helps you process traumatic experiences and explore how they may have shaped your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. Trauma can leave us feeling stuck in patterns of guilt, shame, self-blame, or mistrust. CPT offers a structured, supportive space to examine these beliefs, develop a more balanced understanding of your experiences, and reduce the ways trauma continues to impact your life.

  • Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships and experiences of connection, safety, and trust can shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. Together, we can explore patterns in relationships, understand how past experiences influence present-day connections, and build a greater sense of security in relationships. Therapy offers an opportunity to develop self-awareness, strengthen trust, and experience connection in ways that feel safer, more authentic, and more fulfilling.
