EMDR Trained -Certified Trauma Professional: Welcome to my Psychology Today page!

What you are experiencing is a NORMAL reaction to trauma, and healing is possible.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, eating disorder treatment including Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia, Anorexia and both Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorders.
