Intuitive Eating Counseling

for women who want to learn how to stop binge eating and dieting

Helping you navigate the shame of out-of-control eating so you can live guilt-free.

You've been on one diet after another and have lost weight again and again only to gain the weight back (and sometimes more) and bear the shame and disappointment of failing at another diet. Using Intuitive Eating principles, coupled with EMDR therapy, I will help you learn to trust your body when making food choices, eliminate shame and guilt related to food, and feel the joy of freedom of choice. 

Hi, I'm Lynn!

I am a licensed therapist, a certified EMDR clinician and CIT, and a certified Intuitive Eating counselor. I specialize in working with women who experience disordered eating.  Using Intuitive Eating principles and EMDR therapy, I will help you ditch dieting forever, trust your body, and feel free!

My Approach

I use Intuitive Eating principles to help you navigate the day-to-day issues that you face relating to food and eating or restricting.  This helps you develop awareness of the physical signals coming from your body. EMDR therapy helps to change the false beliefs that you may have about yourself, your worth, and how these beliefs show up as chronic disordered behavior around food. These beliefs are typically learned and internalized in childhood and continue to be active in adulthood.  They may include beliefs about not being good enough, about having to be perfect, or feeling compelled to meet certain rigid standards of appearance or health in order to feel a sense of worth.
