About Me
Experience:
Perhaps even more significant than my education is my understanding of what it really takes to achieve permanent weight loss success. Smart alone isn’t enough. As an intelligent, educated, but formerly 40 lb. overweight, bingeing/starving, 2 pack-a-day couch potato (who didn’t intend to be any of those things but couldn’t figure out how not to be), I understand how the otherwise bright, committed and even desperate mind can still undermine the best of intentions. All the sincerity and desperation in the world will not necessarily produce sustainable changes – as you probably already know all too well.
“I know what to do but I am not doing it”. Sound familiar? One minute it seems you have it, the next minute you don’t. Baffling? Maybe not. What if you could find a way to act your way into right thinking while you work on thinking your way into right acting? Using your history and cognitive behavioral techniques (aka logic + action), I can show you how to preempt your self-sabotage and harness your most empowered self.

Education: As a twenty-five year teacher of cognitive behavioral techniques with a Masters Degree in Human Nutrition and hundreds of hours of cutting edge continuing nutrition education, I have spent the last several years teaching weight management skills and preventive health behaviors through individual sessions laced with compassion and humor. I am a member of the National Certification Board for Nutrition Specialists and a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS).
Here is my message of hope to the still overweight, frustrated, despairing, but “otherwise competent” individual …if you have ever lost weight before, ever, then take heart. For at least some period of time you got a hold of that side of yourself that generates your motivation. It was not a gift but came from within you. Learn to harness that mojo in my upcoming daily thoughts book:
