Counseling

Collaborative. Safe. No Judgment.
Picture

I was a fat kid

Until I was age 14, I was fat. My family was all about food. We used food as a way to get together, and to reward ourselves.

But I was determined to live, and live fully, without that limitation. I learned all I could about nutrition and exercise, and began to look at things differently and adopt better behaviors.

When I saw the changes in my own body and how much better I felt, I dedicated by career to helping myself and others to achieve their optimum weight and quality of life.

Weekend Appointments

It's important to me even today to continue working with clients individually, so I offer weekend-only appointments to individuals seeking counseling.

Although my specialty is eating and weight issues, I work with all individuals who wish to improve their quality of life. Common issues include stress, relationships, sexual functioning/sexuality, self-esteem, grief, career, time management, and obstacles to change.
 
I do my best to provide an atmosphere of safety without judgment for each client, recognizing that each person is unique. Therapy is a collaborative process: we work together to clarify your concerns, validate your strengths, and find strategies to improve your life.

I have been in clinical practice for more than 20 years, and was the Behavioral Health Director at Duke University Diet and Fitness Center. From 2000-2012 I led workshops at the Rice Diet Program on topics such as Enhancing Motivation, Recovering from Relapse, Dealing with Emotional Eating, and Positive Self-Affirmation.

I am also a Consulting Professor at Duke University School of Medicine and Professor Emerita at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Department of Health Studies, Førde, Norway.
