Anxiety
Anxiety can present itself in many different ways. For some it can look like an internal spiral of fear, worry, intrusive thoughts, etc. For some it can come out externally like a panic attack. It can also be a combination of the internal and external symptoms. Overall, living with anxiety is not easy.
Let’s look at patterns and triggers together and collaborate on coping skills to manage how anxiety plays a role in your every day life.

Body Image & Disordered Eating
If you have noticed recently or throughout your life that you have a difficult relationship with food and/or your body, you are not alone. Our world’s “diet culture” promotes a weight-loss mentality that can be really hurtful and dangerous.
Together, we can begin to look at the relationship you have to food, eating, exercise, and your body and shift to a mentality that emphasizes empowerment. I utilize a Health At Every Size (H.A.E.S®) perspective which means that I value body diversity and do not promote intentional weight-loss.

Trauma
Trauma has a way of altering the way you see yourself and your life due to the way it is stored in the brain and body. Healing looks different for everyone. If we work together, I can help you process in a way that is healing and meaningful for you. I utilize a trauma-informed approach, and have specific experience providing therapy to survivors of intimate partner violence.
I also specialize in generational trauma, which is trauma that is passed down or inherited through generations of groups, cultures, or families. By using this framework, we can learn about how trauma shapes us and how we can work towards breaking the cycle.
