I provide strategies to challenge negative self-perceptions, build self-esteem, and foster self-acceptance. My approach focuses on exploring the underlying factors contributing to body image concerns and developing practical techniques to enhance your body confidence. Together, we work towards breaking free from harmful societal pressures, embracing self-love, and achieving a balanced and fulfilling life.
ADHD and self-esteem issues often overlap - including body image and sometimes body dysmorphia. In our work together, we can dismantle some of these negative thought patterns and replace them with a more self-compassionate perspective. Improving our relationship with our bodies makes a huge impact on our quality of life!
With my passion for supporting folx in queer community, I also specialize in helping gender-diverse and trans humans to explore identity and gender dysphoria.
Body image can lead to feelings of self-doubt and other destructive thinking patterns. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for everyone. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.
We can explore the multiple factors that may have contributed to your unhelpful body image, whether family expectations, hurtful comments, or trauma. With self-compassion, we can learn self-acceptance and self-love.
