I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders and eating disorders.

I draw on my extensive training in CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

Many of us have feelings of not being good enough, or that we are bad, not lovable, not smart enough, not worthy, etc. These feelings can come from past trauma and/or from living with a narcissist. Because we have feelings like these, we think we have to do things for others so they will like us. It's exhausting. These feelings can create self doubt, confusion, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, etc. Your life doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you rid yourself of these beliefs and give you clarity and happiness. I've been successfully helping people with these issues thru online, EMDR based therapy, for many years.

You are an individual, not a cookie cutter, so your treatment approach will be unique to your needs, and each person's journey is individual. Through goal setting, we can help you to develop decisions congruent with the life you want. I use CBT, ACT, mindfulness, & Gottman Method (completed Level 1 & 2).
