If you are struggling with:
- Weight control
- Emotional eating
- Unhealthy and/or excessive behaviors
- Chronic Illness
- Family member’s chronic illness
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Problems in your relationships
Coming to a place where you can focus your whole self on the area(s) you’d like to improve can bring lasting change.
God’s word tells us, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13. It’s true! Have you tried to address the same issue several times with the same result? Applying faith to a challenge can tap into a deep well of encouragement and help finally break the cycle.
I use a collaborative and compassionate approach to cognitive behavioral therapy while also addressing strong emotions, spiritual concerns and physical challenges.
