Anxiety is a part of life to some degree for everyone and under the right circumstances it even serves a purpose. Anxiety protects us by alerting our brain and body that something is wrong. However, when our fear response is out of proportion or out of place it can cause unnecessary distress and even limit our functioning. I have found CBT, Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness, and attending to spiritual and physical health to be highly effective in the management of anxiety.

At its core depression is characterized by negative views or expectations of yourself, others and/or life. Successful treatment of depression entails reconstructing these views and expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied along with an eclectic array of other approaches to reconstruct dysfunctional thought patterns. CBT uses the relationship between your emotions, thoughts, and behavior to improve your quality of life.

At the core of repairing eating disorders is understanding their root(s). Low self-esteem is more often than not a root. Many factors contribute to our self-esteem, including environment, culture, the views of others, etc. Using CBT, Mindfulness, Strengths-Based approaches and more I will guide the client through developing a more balanced view of self. We’ll walk through processes that foster awareness and use of your strengths, reconstruct disordered thought patterns, change the way you talk about yourself and communicate with others. You will improve your relationship with food and yourself.
