Any of us can get "stuck in a rut" and one key to pulling out of it is learning to respond effectively to life's stressors, rather than react negatively to them. My background in attachment theory, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness and EMDR, allows me to successfully help those struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma. I also enjoying helping people cope with life transitions and relationship problems. I love working with clients who are motivated for change but whose inner critic can be fierce, often limiting them from experiencing joy and contentment.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with additional elements of self acceptance and mindfulness. I emphasize awareness of thoughts and emotional responses in the body. With this awareness, you will learn effective new life skills that you can immediately apply. For those suffering from trauma, I am a trained EMDR practitioner.
I provide screening and treatment of Eating Disorders. There are several different types of eating disorders. An early screening can identify disordered eating and body image. I know it can be challenging to take the first step to get help but you are not alone. Email me today
