About My Clients
I work with clients who had a dysfunctional childhood and now struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, PTSD, or eating disorders. Your early experiences may have left you feeling rejected, unwanted, betrayed, angry, not good enough, ashamed, powerless, unloved, or even traumatized. Perhaps you had a conflicted relationship with your family, perhaps your parents weren't around, or perhaps there was divorce, affairs, alcoholism, neglect, or abuse that deeply impacted you.
My Background and Approach
When you have such experiences, many of your core emotional needs are not met - needs for love, affection, acceptance, belonging, safety, autonomy, healthy attachments, freedom to express your needs and emotions. These unmet needs lead to the development of negative beliefs about yourself & others - for instance, that you are unlovable or unworthy, that you are defective, that others will abuse and mistreat you, that you don’t belong, that you’re a failure or not good enough, etc. While these beliefs may be unconscious and you may be unaware of them on a day to day basis, they manifest themselves as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or eating disorders in your current life. I use therapeutic approaches that are specifically designed to help you identify these beliefs, understand how they impact your current life, and process your past experiences on a deep level that helps you heal and overcome the current struggles you're experiencing that are stemming from your past.
