Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, trust in the therapeutic relationship is the most important mechanism for healing, so it is important that we establish a warm, safe relationship with each other. I use Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, Feminist, and Humanistic therapies. This means that I am interested in knowing more about your family of origin, how your current struggles can be traced back to your early relationships, and how larger systems of oppression influence our daily lives. It also means that I value an equitable therapeutic relationship: you are the expert who guides your treatment, and I am there to support you, ask curious questions, and allow you to (finally) hear your inner voice.
We would be a good fit if you value activism, are curious about why you are the way you are, you have felt or been told all your life that you are “sensitive,” or “emotional,” and you are interested in liberating yourself from oppressive messaging.
Body Liberation Process Group
Self-described as a “Recovery 2.0” group, the body liberation process group has met twice a month for the last four years (and counting). The group is intended for folks who have moved to a solid place in their eating disorder recovery and are still struggling with things such as using their voice, setting boundaries, having positive relationships, and repeating unhelpful patterns. In this group, members get the benefit of receiving support from a therapist and a small group of people who are committed to recovery.
Navigating the world of eating disorders and trauma as a clinician can be confusing and scary, and we are not often taught about these topics in our training programs in-depth. I use a Feminist, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic lens to help me understand what clients’ symptoms are trying to communicate. A consultee who is a good fit with me is interested in activist work, has aspirational ethics, and is already in active psychotherapy.
