Therapeutic Approaches

I draw from Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to explore how trauma shapes beliefs about yourself, others, and the world, making room for new perspectives.

Through Enhanced Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT-E), we can examine how body image concerns, emotions, life events, and dietary restraint affect your relationship with food, your body, and others.

I also incorporate Narrative Therapy to help you re-author the stories of your life and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to tap into different parts of you with compassion and care.

My approach is Strengths-Based, Relational, and Multi-Systemic, honoring your intersecting identities, relationships, and broader social context.
