Mindfulness is the backbone of my practice. Regardless of the interventions or approach we decide is right for you, I’ll aim to infuse our work with present-moment awareness and mindfulness practices that support your goals. Mindfulness takes many forms in psychotherapy. Some examples include:

• Mindful listening

• Visualization

• Breathing

• Mindful movement

• Journaling

• Meditation

Athletes and high-performers dedicate incredible effort and resources to achieving their goals and visions. Choosing to explore your potential in this way can be incredibly rewarding and equally challenging. I’ll strive to help you implement mindsets, processes, and systems that facilitate daily enjoyment, inspiration, and contentment across the lifespan of your activity. Mindfulness and psychotherapy can support high-performing individuals and groups to thrive emotionally and psychologically amidst:

• High-pressure environments

• Injury and recovery

• Navigating relational dynamics (e.g. coach, team, competition, self)

• Identity changes that occur at various levels of entry and exit from the activity

• Finding, tuning, and implementing the conditions for optimal performance

I spent my graduate practicum and internship learning the nuances and industry standards for working with and treating eating disorders. Working in many levels of care, I’ve found that disordered eating and eating disorders are best supported by a team approach. Sometimes this includes helping clients find the right team (e.g., physicians, dietitians, coaches, and social supports); other times, it’s jumping in to work with and alongside their team. We’ll work together to develop and hone your resources for wellbeing by:

• Tracking and supporting your nervous system

• Building safety in the mind-body connection

• Approaching challenges with flexibility and resilience

• Deepening healthy relationships

• Improving self-esteem

When trauma occurs it can impact so much of our experience from emotion regulation to how we make sense of the world and connect with ourselves and others. Sometimes we need more than talking to turn triggers into memories. I use traditional talk therapy (psychodynamic, DBT, and CBT) alongside mindfulness and somatic (body-based) approaches to treat trauma.
