As a recovered binge eater & anxiety navigator, I will offer insights & practical strategies for food & body freedom & mental well-being

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health, Qualified Mental Health Professional, Life Coach, FMS Certified Exercise Professional, Health Coach, Podcaster & Writer. I have been working in private practice for over 20 years as a licensed mental health therapist, life coach & health coach. Along the way, I worked for some years as a part-time personal trainer, owned a Cross-Fit gym and created an on-line weight loss & maintenance program. I facilitate processes for individuals to reach their goals in life through therapy, coaching, & online courses while using practical direct guidance, emotion management skills, somatic experiencing, habit change strategies, thought-work and skill building. I am a recovered binge-eater, restricter, yo-yo dieter and suffered with anxiety for years. This led me to create and host the podcast Weight Loss & Wellness For Real and also create online courses all with the purpose to help others find food and body freedom as well as purpose and joy in life. My mission is to bring whole-person health (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) to individuals so they can live their best lives. I am 50 years old and a mother to one child. I love to travel and am an avid rock-climber, mountain biker and I have taken on multiple solo bike-packing challenges over the past few years.
