Counseling for Overeating
I recognize that many people know the components of a healthy diet but may be unable to maintain sound eating habits over time. My counseling approach helps clients minimize the emotional obstacles that get in the way of positive health and food choices. I provide a safe place to integrate and contain strong feelings so that you can avoid acting on your emotions through your food choices. Counseling proceeds at a pace that is comfortable and productive.

Short and Longer Term Therapy
Therapy is offered as a separate service or in conjunction with nutritional counseling. I earned my Masters degree in Social Work from Smith College School of Social Work in Northampton, Massachusetts. I am a registered counselor in the State of Washington and have more than 15 years experience working with adults, families, and adolescents. My style has been called warm and engaging and I provide a safe, collaborative environment where you can explore issues that concern you. I listen with a compassionate ear and provide insight into the issues at hand. When we understand and integrate our feelings, we can make healthier choices in all areas of our lives.
