I work with individual adults on any of the following issues- anxiety, depression, body image issues, disordered eating, life and career transitions, relationship issues (dating, engaged, married, monogamous, non-monogamous, or cross-cultural), LGBTQ+ identity issues, self-confidence/self-love, emotional overwhelm, and trauma/PTSD/complex PTSD.
How do we work on these issues? What exactly does therapy look like?
Talk Therapy
Through careful listening, reflective questioning, and non-judgmental exploration, you can begin to untangle the connection between the present day issues you struggle with and your past experiences. This process of sharing and deep listening is a central component to the therapeutic relationship, and allows you to not only gain insight into why you have developed the patterns you have, but how you want to move past them into the life you envision for yourself.
EMDR Therapy
We all go through painful experiences, but when an ordeal becomes too overwhelming for the human mind it can be stored in our memories as trauma.
Sometimes trauma becomes internalized after an attack, an accident, or a time when you or a loved one were or felt very unsafe. Sometimes less obvious life events like repeated negative messages from childhood can get stored in the mind, causing you to hold self-limiting beliefs in the present. Whatever your experience has been, EMDR can help you move through and let go of the emotional pain from your past.
Body Image Healing and Intuitive Eating Coaching
Are you tired of having your life hijacked by feeling bad about your body? Do you wan to make peace with food? Are you ready to ditch the diet for good? Many of us grow up learning to dislike our bodies and spend a great deal of time, effort, and money trying to shrink ourselves to fit a standard of beauty that isn’t really possible. But while diets have a 95% failure rate (meaning most of us regain the weight back after 1-5 years) Intuitive Eating has been proven to provide lasting health and wellness benefits, including greater confidence, more body satisfaction, a peaceful relationship with food, and better physical health. As a certified IE Coach I help you heal your relationship with food, your body, and ultimately yourself.
Insurance and Payment
Sessions are $190 for 50-55 minutes, and are conducted on-line via a secure platform. I am an in-network provider for United Healthcare, and an out-of-network provider with most other health insurance plans. Co-pays can be reasonably low for clients with out-of-network benefits, and I work with you to help you understand your insurance benefits, and to talk openly about if a sliding scale would be appropriate for your situation. I deeply believe that money should not get in the way of healing.
