About My Clients
Do you feel gripped by intrusive thoughts? Do you struggle with shame around obsessive behaviors? I have special interest in treating people with OCD and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling and skin picking. I have also worked with individuals with eating disorders, helping them to find a more balanced relationship to both food and their bodies. I have experience working with a range of mood disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety.
My Background and Approach
I am passionate about using exposure and response prevention (ERP) in work with clients who have OCD. Having been trained in dance/movement therapy, I also use a variety of body-based and creative approaches in my work. Most of the time, this means pointing out body language and noticing when the body starts to shut down. I also believe in bringing creativity into the therapeutic space when talking is difficult. Overall, I consider my approach to be person-centered. This means that I want you to feel empowered to take control of your own narrative and the pace with which we do therapy together.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe it is important to challenge myself and grow--so I can do the same for you. I regularly attend trainings to improve my own knowledge of the field, as well as trends in research and development. I work on my own anti-racism and try to deepen my awareness of my own privilege and blind spots. As a creative person, I am aware of the different ways in which we communicate our thoughts, emotions, and feelings about being in the world. I think this also gives me the flexibility to change how I approach situations.
