NewLeaf Counseling Center

Why Work With Me I could list my credentials and I will below, but what really matters is that I get it. I’ve been working with women navigating eating disorders, emotional eating, and body image healing since 2013, and I understand how layered the relationship between food, body, and self-worth can be. My approach blends science, compassion, and practical strategy, because healing requires both insight and action. I’m also a bit of a research junkie, so you can expect plenty of my signature “nerd nuggets” in session, which are evidence-based tools that help you not just understand change, but sustain it. If you’re looking for someone who combines real expertise with real humanity, you’re in the right place. As promised, my credentials: Bachelors of Science in Nutrition & Dietetics from Benedictine University Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Addictions Counseling (and yes- food addiction, too!) Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Board-Certified Bariatric Counselor National Academy of Sports Medicine: Certified Personal Trainer & Metabolic Makeover Coach
