You don't know when the diet turned into an obsession... an obsession that now controls you instead of you controlling it. It happens every time you have to eat... the voice in your head tells you not to, that the food is bad, or that you're going to gain weight. It's everywhere you turn.. diets, weight loss, and messages galore that you are not good enough in the body you have. I can help you..
If only you could eat normally... without guilt, shame or worry. If only you could be happy with your body shape and size.. If only you could stop worrying about your weight and what you look like.. I can help you with these issues. Helping people overcome their obsession with food and appearance has been my specialty since 1993.
My business, Pathways to Peace, was named with you in mind.. the you who no longer wants to struggle with your appearance.. the you who no longer wants to struggle with food.. the you who wants internal peace. In addition to food and weight issues, I also work with cancer patients and other mental health conditions.. Call me to schedule a consultation..

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as these tend to be the gold standard for care with not only eating disorders, but many other mental health conditions. I also use Family Based Treatment for Eating Disorders as well as traditional family therapy to resolve family conflicts. And.... I am the proud creator of a Creative Arts Program!
