Do you feel like every time you start a new diet you are starting over from square one? Do you finish all the "junk food" in your house so that you will have a clean slate on Monday morning?
I’m so glad you're here. If you have all of the information about the choices you should be making, the foods you should be eating, but you can't seem to bridge the gap between knowledge and action, you're in the right place. If you’re caught in cycles of binge eating, dieting, weight loss/ regain, or other food struggles, you’re not alone. And if you feel like you fail every time you try... Well, maybe the things you were taught failed you.
Freedom is not out of reach. Dieting and food noise may have left you believing your value depends on the number on the scale. They can rob you of joy and take away the ability to live in the moment.
Recovery is possible. No matter how long you’ve been struggling, there is a path toward freedom, stability, and peace with food and your body.
I work with clients to address the underlying emotional and physiological roots of yo-yo dieting, binge eating, emotional eating, and disordered eating. I want to help you eliminate food noise and repair your relationship with your body and nourishment. I offer virtual, equine-assisted, and in office sessions. I also offer Christian counselling.
