If you've been dealing with weight and body image challenges throughout your life, you've found the right place!
My counseling treatment model at the Mindful Eating Institute, founded in 2017, offers a comprehensive approach to weight management and developing a healthy relationship with food. My model combines cognitive-behavioral therapy with mindfulness meditation to provide personalized strategies for addressing emotional eating and establishing lifelong weight management results.

My Promise to You
I will assist you in achieving a lighter life, both physically and emotionally. By cultivating a calm and relaxed relationship with food, you will learn to care for and nourish yourself healthily, without relying on restrictive dieting. Counseling sessions are available remotely via Zoom or in-person in Santa Barbara, ensuring my services are accessible to you regardless of your location.
Therapeutic Goal
Therapy seeks to help you cultivate a calm and relaxed relationship with food and to learn how to care for and nourish yourself healthily without depending on restrictive diets. It's like taking a deep dive into the core emotions, which trigger emotional eating. We'll do this gently, slowly and safely.
