Personal Statement

I enjoy helping people to find balance in their life and in their relationship with food. I believe that my job is work myself out of a job by helping people to be able to walk through life without me. We all come to a point in our lives where we might feel out of balance and the pieces of our lives just don't seem to fit together. I will come alongside you and help you develop a plan of how to put the pieces back together to form a balanced and harmonious picture.

One of my favorite types of clients to work with are couples. These can be married couples or couples who are dating. We work to identify what is working in the relationship and what is not. One of the key basic principles of couples therapy is that people need to arrive at some radical acceptance that they are not in a relationship with themselves, the other person is not going to think, feel, act, or believe like them. Their partners are not a miniature or mirrored versions of themselves.

Often times parents will bring their children in for counseling as a complete family. Whatever the situation is I love working with families and working on what each family member's role is. Family Therapy and Family Counseling can be the entire family coming in because there are a lot of conflicts going on. Perhaps the whole family is just trying to prepare for aging parents, grandparents, kids leaving for college, or whatever the struggle may be.
