Are you dissatisfied with your life? Are you finding ways to compensate that do not serve you well, such as over- or under-eating? Do you have an unhealthy relationship with food? Or, do you have a medical problem that has a dietary component that you have difficulty managing? These problems can have an impact on many areas of your life: relationships, work, and the way you handle money. I will help you sort out your difficulties and help you on the road to feeling better.
Eating disorders and obesity are my specialties. I can help my clients recognize their unhealthy triggers and learn how tp manage them
I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed nutritionist. Over many years of practice I understand the many ways in which difficulties with food and self-care have an impact on a person's life. My combination of skills can help you to understand and remove barriers to success.
