If your life were presented as a classified ad in the careers section, would you be eager to apply?
"Wanted: Woman to work tirelessly in the service of others while denying she has any worth or value of her own. Must be proficient at self-denial and disconnect with a strong background in passive-aggressive acting out against herself and others".
Or: "Wanted: Man who knows what it means to live a life of 'quiet desperation'. Must have lost all sense of passion, meaning, and purpose. Experience with a mood disorder and addictive attachments to substances an asset but not required".
It seems that in our harried existence, we are often left struggling to find balance - in our work and home life, in our relationships with our partner, family and friends, in our relationships with food and alcohol, even in our relationship with ourselves. In Italian, to do something "en modo sano" means to find a healthy and balanced approach, and that is the foundation of my counselling practice - helping clients discover a balanced and effective path to health, healing, and reconnection.

You may have been put on diets or diet pills, forced to eat when you weren't hungry, weighed and lectured by well meaning (or not so well meaning?) doctors or relatives, or felt otherwise disrespected and intruded upon. I will not be weighing you or telling you what or what not to eat. This may feel like a relief, or you may not like that. Some people become dependent on others to tell them what to eat. I will simply be encouraging you to sense your hunger and satiation points, and to notice when you can follow them as guides, and when it seems too difficult. We may choose to include journal, art, or movement work, and guided fantasies to help you express what the eating problem has been trying to say. Ultimately, you will learn to eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. But in the meantime, when you cannot always do this, we will use the symptoms to point us to the triggers and issues in your life that you have been using bingeing, purging, starving and/or dieting to solve. We work these through one by one, until you feel strong enough to face these difficulties without depriving or punishing yourself with food. My Treatment Model incorporates Feminist Object Relations, EMDR/DNMS/LI, Psychosomatic Integration, ego state work and trauma work.
