I have been fortunate to have the majority of my referrals come through friends or family of prior clients. The passion I felt when entering the field of counseling 20 years ago, seems even greater today. More individuals and couples are genuinely motivated to seek deeper levels of understanding and self-awareness. Most behavior and thought patterns are learned early in our development. Many suffer due to repeated behavior and choices, involving friends, family, and relationships. Change in the choices we make, often results in positively altering the way we feel, perceive, and live life. Authentic change begins within oneself.

We all have moments in life when circumstances just become overwhelming. Most often we bounce back on our own & get back to a state of normalcy. However, there are times when life throws so much at us, it is more than we can handle on our own.

At Body Psychology, we believe in nurturing both the mind and body, providing tailored support to help our clients achieve balance, healing & lasting well-being.

My career began with a question that I could not stop asking.
Why do some people spend years trying to change while others seem to create lasting transformation almost effortlessly?
That curiosity led me into the study of hypnosis and the subconscious mind. What started as a search for answers quickly became a passion and eventually a profession. Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing people overcome fears, break unwanted patterns, build confidence, and create meaningful change in ways they once believed were impossible.
More than a decade later, I remain fascinated by the mind and the process of change.

I work with women who are exhausted from starting over. They know what to eat. They know they need to exercise. Yet emotional eating, binge eating, cravings, or self-sabotage keep pulling them back into the same frustrating cycle.
My clients often tell me they feel like they've "tried everything." The truth is, lasting change isn't just about food—it begins with understanding the subconscious patterns driving your behaviors. Together, we work to create lasting change so healthy choices become natural instead of a daily battle.

How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviors. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.
What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualization or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.
How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.
Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
