About Ginny

Hi! Clients who gravitate towards working with me are generally teens and adults who are struggling with disordered eating and eating disorders. With over 12 years of experience working with clients that are struggling with their food intake I have acquired the Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) credentials so that clients can identify me as an expert in this field. My hope for everyone that I work with is that they can have a relationship with food that is free and intuitive. Connecting our mind to our bodies is where true health has a chance to develop.

Approach to care

Methods that I incorporate include meal planning, mindful eating, hunger/fullness awareness, and intuitive eating. Techniques that I utilize include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). I am also very comfortable working with teens and parents and Family Based Therapy (FBT) is an excellent tool to get everyone on the same page. Working with me we will identify exactly what your nutrition related goals are and I will strive to make the process positive and enjoyable. My approach is direct, kind, respectful and I love building others up so that they feel like the expert of their own nutritional plans.

Your first session with Ginny

In our first session we will discuss what your primary concerns are and identify where to start to see positive change. We will also take time to make sure that you feel comfortable working together. By looking at the big picture we will identify together what needs to be the focus to get you the best results.

Hobbies

For fun I really enjoy putting a blanket out on the grass and staring up at the trees or reading. I also enjoy time with family and fishing with my husband. I find being outside therapeutic. Cooking is also an activity I enjoy as long as I can be flexible with the recipe and do a little experimenting:)
