I am a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in working with eating disorders, body image issues, and the use of food to regulate emotions (emotional eating).
My experience has allowed me to see that no one problem exists in a vacuum. Because of this, my approach is to treat the individual holistically, looking at all times at the mind, the body, and the spirit. My practice style is flexible in that, I may use different therapies and disciplines as I see fit to your specific treatment needs. In general, I am an action-oriented therapist. I will assume that you are here because you are open to change in some area in your life. I will also assume that you are seeking assistance with learning how to cope, change or find fulfillment in your life in some way and that you would like me to guide and teach you how to manage your life in a more productive way. We will work as a team in looking at your treatment goals together. Authentic Living LLC is a place where you can safely disclose information without judgment and actively work on issues with which you present.
