You’ve gotten this far because your behaviors or beliefs provided a sense of safety and self-regulation at one point. Some of them may not work anymore or they’re no longer serving you in the way you want, so let’s work on meeting your needs in a different way. On top of doing trauma work, reframing negative thoughts, and giving you realistic coping skills, I put a large emphasis on educating you so you better understand why you are struggling with the things that cause you distress. I find that providing you with this type of knowledge is a form of empowerment! Specialties: Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, Body Image Trauma, Developmental Trauma, Complex Trauma, Attachment Issues/Relationship Issues, Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Stress management, ADHD management I will show up as another human being experiencing the depths of life just like you!
