Individual Counseling
If any of the below sounds familiar, please reach out to schedule a session:
Struggle to make decisions
Spin and spin on worst case scenarios
Not enjoying life as much
Just can’t deal with another thing on your plate
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed
Know what you “should” do, but aren’t doing it
Don’t feel worthy or enough
Communication with others isn’t working
Parenting is harder than you thought
Kids won’t listen to you
Can’t set boundaries with others
Lack confidence
Stressed most of the time
I focus on building coping, self-care and communication skills, as well as teaching healthy boundaries. I use a straight-forward, compassionate approach and want my clients to feel empowered, resilient and capable. No matter the circumstance, I'm here to provide wisdom, empathy and encouragement. I'll help you take small action steps that will build resilience for the hurdles along the way. I will look at the whole picture so that you will feel revitalized and at peace with who you are. I will teach how thinking about circumstances can influence feelings and behavior, how to rewire negative habitual thinking patterns into positive, useful ones. I can address common obstacles to brain health, such as sleep, diet and movement, to build or restore your foundation.
To encourage change, resiliency and self-efficacy, I utilize Biblical principals, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Love and Logic parenting model, Mindfulness and Self-Compassion.
Sessions for Eating, Food and Body Concerns
Do you relate to any of these? Reach out to schedule a session!
Self-sabotage
Emotional eater
So much food noise
Don’t feel good in your own skin
Weight struggles
Lack confidence to make change
Trying to make “lifestyle changes” for your health and it’s not working
Want new, healthier habits but they aren’t sticking
Stressed most or all the time
Taking care of others and haven’t found time for yourself
Shame with food choices or eating habits
Diagnosed with Diabetes and wondering “what now?”
Want to change your body, but don’t want to use GLP-1’s
Wondering what to do once off GLP-1’s or gaining weight after using them
We will challenge messages that confuse our natural ways of eating. You’ll learn how your brain and body work to influence food choice and habits. You will see how showing your body some love will foster change. I will look at the whole picture so that you will become a Nourished, Natural and Empowered eater (and human). Now is the time to end self-criticism, build body confidence, and have shame-free living and eating! God has a purpose for your life, and He created us for more than this struggle. Let’s invite him into this transformation. There is power in knowing how our Grand Designer made our body and using His design to help us heal.
To start a journey of Nourishing yourself in new ways, I will use Eating Psychology, neuroscience, nutrition, and Biblical principles, plus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Self-Compassion, Embodiment practices, and Mindfulness.
You were made for more than this struggle! Let’s Do This!
Group Counseling
The group setting provides its own magic in healing. You can make connections with other having the same concerns, have a safe space to share your story, hear multiple viewpoints and receive/give respectful feedback. There is something about a shared anguish that brings healing.
Topics can include making and sticking to new habits for health, why diets don’t work, how to make peace with your body and many more!
