			Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker a mind / body approach to healing anxiety, depression, trauma, weight issues and body image
	Do you ... eat large amounts of food in a short amount of time? eat when you're not hungry and feel depressed, guilty or ashamed afterward? feel your weight is holding you back from living the life you want? Have you... tried every diet? wondered why you can't "control your eating" and get off the dieting rollercoaster? begun to believe that the work is really between your ears but don't know where to start? Diets don't work because weight loss isn't about self control. It's about nurturing yourself without using food so you finally get off this rollercoaster and live the life you deserve. If you're ready to shed the depression, anxiety, guilt and shame that comes with weight issues -- so you lose the weight and keep it off, please call me. I'd love to help. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation.
