A few of the areas I can support you with include, but are not limited to:
Depression and Anxiety
Having experienced both depression and anxiety myself, I understand its challenges of shame, heaviness and isolation. After both studying and applying multiple therapeutic and alternative treatments to my own healing, I can help support your mental health healing. By incorporating kindness, compassion, boundaries and self regulation tools, we will aim to decrease your experience of depression and anxiety. Through healing old beliefs and learning new ways of being, we bring a more accepting nature to yourself and your life.
Grief and Loss
We will all experience some form of grief and loss, whether the passing of a loved one, pet loss, the end of a relationship or a friend break-up, or the loss of hopes and dreams. I believe that an empathic, resilient, strengths-based approach will eventually result in your ability to discover your silver lining and deeper insight into yourself. I also believe that through therapeutic healing, we can develop inner wisdom and a version of spirituality unique to ourselves to carry through into the future.
Body and Food Issues
Growing up in “diet-Culture” can leave us feeling less than loving towards our bodies. I understand. Whether it is disordered eating behaviors, body dysmorphia or unrelenting judgement and shame, I can offer support. Utilizing increased mind and body awareness and self compassion, we can become allies of our bodies. we can begin to love our unique selves and appreciate the beauty and sacredness of all bodies and give up restricting, hurtful beliefs and behaviors.
Personal Growth
Are you curious about yourself, your patterns, and your relationships? Are you struggling with a particular habit or mental health issue that you might need some support in addressing? I believe that all humans are faced with problems and challenges in their lives and therapeutic connection and support is helpful for achieving positive mental health and resiliency. We all seek meaning and purpose in life and I would be honored to help discover your best self.
