Hypnotherapist, Licensed RTT Practitioner, Clinical Hypnotist, Duke Certified Health Coach, Spiritual Counselor
With body issues I work with the client to navigate get clarity and find the root cause to the body image issues. From there we use methods to help restore a positive body image.
Living in our world and culture, being bombarded by images of the "ideal" body every day, it is no surprise there is a rise in body image insecurities and disordered eating patterns. Finding ease and contentment in your own body can be a painful struggle, but it is possible. Therapy can help you unpack the familial, social and systemic influences contributing to negative body image and self-worth, creating a path towards healing and the freedom to live in harmony with your authentic self.
I assist clients in co-exploring the stories they've been told about their bodies and appearances, identifying the external influences that shape their experiences. Together, we work to minimize the impact of dominant narratives by enriching stories of clients’ beauty and worthiness.
In my practice, I offer a nurturing and non-judgmental space for clients struggling with body image concerns, employing a holistic approach that combines various therapeutic tools to address each person's unique experience. Through Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we delve into the roots of body image issues, working together to shift perceptions and foster a healthier relationship with oneself. This process is about more than just addressing concerns with appearance; it's about understanding and transforming the way one feels about their body at a deeper level. By integrating these strategies, I support clients in developing self-compassion, improving self-esteem, and embracing a more positive body image. My role is to guide and empower you through this journey of self-discovery and acceptance, providing the tools and encouragement needed to cultivate a more loving and accepting view of your body.
