Why Work with Me? A Lifelong Solution to Weight Loss and Food Freedom

Are you tired of yo-yo dieting and quick fixes that never last? My approach offers a sustainable path to weight loss and food freedom through mindfulness and self-compassion. Here's why working with me can transform your relationship with food and your body:

Beyond Diets and Medications

My counseling treatment model is not tied to restrictive dieting or GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. Instead, we focus on addressing the root causes of your eating behaviors. By exploring core emotions and triggers that lead to using food as a mood regulator, you'll learn healthier ways to self-soothe and regulate your emotions.

Unraveling Years of Conditioning

Changing your relationship with food and your body is a journey that requires patience, courage, and trust. It may take time to undo familiar coping mechanisms and replace negative belief systems about your weight and body. But this transformative process is incredibly worthwhile, equipping you with new tools for emotional self-care.

Reframing Your Relationship with Food

Rather than following rigid food rules, you'll learn to reframe your relationship with food entirely. This approach supports your long-term goal of living a healthy, balanced, and joyful life. You'll develop new self-care practices that address your emotional needs differently - from speaking your truth to setting healthy boundaries and prioritizing your well-being.

Sustainable Weight Loss Through Self-Compassion
