What can she help with?
Venus works with kids, teens, and adults who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, disconnected from their bodies, or unsure of who they are becoming. Many of the people she supports experience eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and emotional dysregulation in the context of life stress, identity exploration, and questions of belonging and self-worth.
Therapeutic Approach
In therapy, Venus offers a steady and compassionate space where difficult emotions can be named, understood, and held without judgment. Venus views eating and emotional struggles as meaningful adaptations to pain, pressure, and unmet needs rather than problems to be “fixed.” Together with her clients, Venus focuses on building a safer, more trusting relationship with food, emotions, and the self, while developing practical tools to navigate everyday life.
Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as DBT, CBT, FBT, and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Venus balances structure with curiosity and care. Her experience across varied levels of care allows her to attune to complexity, manage risk thoughtfully, and deeply respect the courage it takes to seek support.
At the heart of Venus’ work is the belief that healing grows through connection, compassion, and a strengthening sense of identity. Venus is committed to creating an affirming, culturally responsive, and stigma-free therapeutic space where young adults can move toward greater stability, self-understanding, and self-trust.
