| Background and Experience |
I have worked in the field of compulsive over-eating and eating
disorders for the past ten years. I have worked with hundreds of
women in one-on-one sessions and in groups, using a combination of
counseling and guided imagery. The combination has been very
effective in allowing clients to finally discover a new way of looking at,
and changing, unwanted thought and eating behaviors. They are able
to become aware of habitual thinking that creates their unwanted eating
patterns. For most of us, these habitual thoughts are unconscious.
When we bring them to the light and identify them, we are able to
change them, and begin to make the daily life choices we are looking
for.
My greatest gift to my clients is my own success in overcoming a 20
year eating disorder. I know what you are going through and I know first
hand what it takes to find healing within yourself. It is not easy but I know
you can find and develop your own inner resources to overcome your
struggles with the help of a caring and compassionate listener.
I have been trained in state-of-the-art counseling approaches with the
Diets Don't Work Program in Orange County California under Rebecca
Cooper. I am a certified clinical hypnotherapist and a certified personal
trainer. I have completed many classes and continuing education
courses in the field of eating disorders.
Through the benefits I've gained from my own personal growth work, I
know the value that counseling can have for my own clients. I believe my
varied education and broad professional and personal experience
enable me to be effective in working with you as your counselor.
