About

Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, feelings of loneliness and hopelessness? Are you fearful about finding/losing love? Do you suffer with feelings of worthlessness or feel incapable of being loved? Healthy connections are a primary need that we all have. Healthy attachments help us regulate our emotions to live a joyful and peaceful life. Sometimes through life experiences, our ability to attach and connect in healthy ways gets disrupted, negatively impacting our lives and our ability to regulate our emotions. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and trauma. I am an EMDR attachment focused therapist. I take a comprehensive therapeutic approach to help you regulate your emotions and build your inner strength. In addition to EMDR, I am a certified Shamed Focused Therapist. I use Self-Compassion to help you learn to forgive yourself and others.
