How Can I help?
Disordered Eating + Body Image
Eating disorders and body image concerns are complex issues that can't be blamed on one person, thing, or moment in your life. They are fueled by conscious choices, unconscious energy, and your environment from birth to now. They require a whole person approach that leaves no stone unturned.
Together, we will work to expand your life by changing how you relate to your inner world. We learn how to find freedom and peace around food and how to form a trusting relationship with your body.
All bodies are welcome and cared for in the same manner, and I love working with athletes and those who consider movement to be sacred in their lives.
Grief: Loss+Change
The inevitability of loss never makes it easy to experience. When we lose a loved one or pet, it feels like we are left with an hole that can't and won't be filled. There is simply no replacing what was lost. Life transitions and letting of that which kept us safe for a long time also bring a sense of loss and fear for a future without what once was.
Together, we will work together to discover that what impacts us is never lost, that what is lost can never really go anywhere. We will work to together to learn how to move forward with our values as a guide while accepting and integrating the impacts loss can have on our lives.
Overcontrol: People Pleasing + Perfectionism
Self-control can be a powerful skill to develop, but like most everything in life, we can have too much of a good thing. Self-control can, for many reasons, transform into maladaptive overcontrol. This manifests as low receptivity and openness, low flexible control (eg. hyper-perfectionism), low emotional awareness, and low social connectedness and intimacy with others.
We will work together to increase openness, flexibility, and social connectedness. This involves learning how to actively seek what makes us uncomfortable in order to learn from an ever-changing environment. Essentially, we learn to live radically open to life.
Anxiety + Depression
Anxiety could be thought of as that vibration in your chest, the constant and increasingly noisy hum in your head, or the consistently intensifying heat in your belly. Depression is sometimes that dull, heavy haze that seemingly anchors you in a place of hopelessness. Both of these feelings, however you experience them, can isolate us from our tribe, our work, school, and everything we love.
I can help you relate to your inner experience differently, to feel everything more effectively, and help you reconnect with your values despite these heavy feelings being present. The goal is to lift the haze and cool the heat in your chest that are keeping you from engaging with the present moment and what you love.
