Extensive experience allows me to guide you through your own journey to end your emotional eating and cravings. I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Franciscan University in 2015 and became a certified trauma specialist through Intensive Trauma Therapy, Inc. I accrued over 4,000 supervised clinical hours working with a wide range of clients, with a special focus on trauma.
My advanced knowledge of human health, behavior, and dysfunction allows me to provide effective tools to help people overcome what is holding them back and to attain their goals.
Personally, I struggled with emotional eating. I know what it feels like to not have any control around food, and the resulting guilt and shame. This would lead me to isolate myself as I tried to quickly work off the damage done from my latest binge, so that no one would see that I was struggling with this. I tried every fad diet and exercise program, but losing weight was not my issue. My issue was living in this constant binge/restrict cycle that I did not know how to break free from.
I was desperate to find a real solution. I was introduced to tapping and learned how to use it to combat cravings and emotional eating. These tools are not simplistic, such as setting goals, journaling, saying positive affirmations, etc. These unique tapping techniques allowed me to go deep into my subconscious issues that kept me in my destructive cycle. After utilizing these tapping techniques, I can confidently say that I no longer binge eat and now have freedom from the emotional eating cycle.
I am passionate about using my education and experience to help other people overcome their own struggles with emotional eating. I know that they work and am excited to help you!
