I believe that everyone deserves another chance. Whether you feel someone has given up on you or you have given up on yourself, that is where opportunity lies. My goal is to help facilitate repair the relationship that you have with yourself. I have over ten years experience in working with adults, adolescents and children within a range of treatment levels.
My background holds emphasis in the treatment of trauma, disordered eating, anxiety and depression. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma sensitive yoga and mindfulness. I also hold a strong emphasis in health at every size, intuitive eating and restoring the trust you have in your body.
What this means for you is we will explore how your thoughts, behaviors and feelings are impacted by each other and by society. We will also focus on how the mind interacts with the body. A bit part of this starts with learning to tune into your body again.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Family conflicts, Grief, Sleeping disorders, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder

Very thoughtful. Listens carefully and doesn’t rush to tell me my problem. Lets me think through things at my pace. Has suggestions when I’m ready. Ardis also gives me homework—something to DO—between conversations.

Ardis is very patient and always willing to listen. She has helped me pin-point specific emotional issues that I could not make sense of myself. Am much better at identifying the source of my emotions now.
