Emotional Eating
Conquer Emotional Overeating Now
Why do 95% of diets fail to keep the weight off? Because most overeating has little to do with food and everything to do with emotional problems of living. I can help you get in touch with how your emotions control your eating – so you can declare peace with food and keep the pounds off for good.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker whose counseling and coaching technique have helped clients and support group patients for over twenty years. I have maintained a 90-pound weight loss for 25 years and understand the deeper issues impacting emotional eating, weight regain and body image.
I enjoy helping clients integrate cognitive and behavioral changes for disordered eating, body image issues, anxiety and depression, grief and unhealthy relationships.
This clinical and metaphysical approach encourages clients to discover and integrate a mind, body, spiritual energy for navigating life’s challenges and transformation.
“You don’t cure emotional eating by eliminating all comfort foods; you do it by learning how to comfort yourself.” - Unknown
