Individual Therapy
I provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents in the state of Colorado both in person or via telehealth.
I’m passionate about working with the following concerns:
Anxiety Disorders
Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs)
Eating Disorders
PTSD and Trauma Related Stress Disorder
Some people use therapy as a way to maintain positive wellbeing on a regular basis, while others hop in and out of therapy depending on the stressors in their life. Having a dedicated weekly time that is just for you can make all the difference.
Eating Disorder Therapy
Recovering from an eating disorder often requires specialized care. I have a collaborative intake process to assess what therapeutic support you may need, including other providers if necessary. I work with everyone along the disordered eating spectrum including the following:
Chronic yo-yo dieting
Orthorexia
Binge Eating Disorder
Anorexia Nervosa
Bulimia Nervosa
ARFID
My approach to working with eating disorders and chronic dieting is rooted in the non diet, fat positive movement and is informed by Intuitive Eating principles. These philosophies acknowledge how a system of diet culture places a higher value on thin, “fit” bodies, creating stigma and discrimination for people in larger bodies.
I am passionate about helping people step off the dieting hamster wheel and find true peace with their bodies.
EDMR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is an evidence-based trauma therapy used to address trauma, grief and loss, anxiety and other mental health challenges.
Traumatic memories are typically stored in the brain with vivid pictures, sounds and body sensations, which can result in distressing symptoms. Using bilateral stimulation, similar to REM sleep, EMDR helps identify and process these memories to help you stop re-experiencing these memories and ultimately feel more in control.
EMDR can be relatively short term, with the average treatment length being 6-12 sessions. While EMDR may not be appropriate for every type of client or issue, it may be what you have been missing in traditional talk therapy!
