| Background and Experience |
I have worked in the field of compulsive over-eating and
eating disorders for the past eight 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.
