Having worked as a therapist for over 15 years, I have, I believe, developed competence in helping individual adults, families, couples and children (10 - 18yo) around needs such as communication, parenting, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, family dynamics and adjustment disorders. I strive to adopt an approach that is conversational, comfortable and non - judgemental. Clients have consistently reported feeling at ease and free to "be themselves". I employ a variety of interventions and approaches including Cognitive Behavioral (what we think determines what we feel and do), brief, family systems, structural and any and all others to assist most effectively.

As humans we can get caught up in being human doings instead of human BEINGS. This mindset can be invalidating, robotic and cause a disconnect between our heart and our minds. We can identify these traits and shift our perspectives by allowing ourselves the time and space to feel and heal. When we are validating, compassionate and kind to ourselves we can embrace our inner desires and experience deeper connections. Then, together, we can embrace the possibility of change and hope through therapeutic discussions and professional guidance. This degree of encouragement can be exactly what you may need to find your way in your journey.

Obesity Therapists

Can obesity be a cause of depression and anxiety?

Yes. It can be stressful and debilitating to carry excess weight. Many people make inaccurate assumptions about people who are overweight. This stigma may lead individuals to feel badly about themselves, decreasing their self-esteem, or leading to feelings of worthlessness. An association between obesity and depression is well-established.

When should an individual seek treatment for obesity?

When obesity, or the feelings it causes, creates a disruption in your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Examples include avoiding social situations due to anxiety, an inability to participate in family life as a result of health problems, or poor performance at work due to low self-esteem or other concerns.

Are there specific medications for weight loss?

There are several prescription drugs that can help with weight loss, including semaglutide and phentermine. These drugs reduce appetite and must be prescribed by a physician. Professionals will suggest lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, before turning to drugs, which have side effects and typically are prescribed only for a short duration. Many people regain weight after taking weight loss drugs if they have not made significant lifestyle changes.

What is body positivity?

Body positivity is a cultural movement that promotes the acceptance of bodies of all sizes and types, rather than those that conform to societal ideals of beauty. It places self-worth, self-acceptance, and an appreciation for one’s body as goals to achieve a happier, healthier attitude about oneself and others, focusing on who a person is rather than what they look like.
