For me, the connection between client and therapist, as well as creating emotionally safety, are two critical ingredients in a successful therapy experience. We will collaborate to identify the specific areas about which you want assistance; such as, relationship challenges, every -day stressors, trauma and grief therapy, and mood regulation skills — to reduce anxiety and depression. Oftentimes we struggle with an inaccurate narrative, filled with shame and self-critical thoughts. Despite feeling stuck in negative patterns, we can rewrite that script and develop greater resilience.

A therapist's main role is to earn your trust and develop a good rapport so that you will feel safe and comfortable to share about yourself. Receiving validation for your thoughts and feelings regarding your experience helps you to begin the healing process. You can begin to handle toxic situations/relationships and learn to set boundaries with others. Counseling encourages you to take care of "you" and teaches you how to improve your self-esteem. You learn to regulate and tolerate emotions causing anxiety & depression. You can begin to replace harmful habits with new healthier behaviors. I can see anyone in the state of CA online

Do you think about food constantly (even when you're not hungry)? Are you always counting calories and weighing yourself... or taking more drastic measures? I guide women and men struggling with binge eating to liberate themselves from emotional eating, take back control, and feel good in their bodies. Keep in mind that it's not what you're eating that is the true problem; it's what's eating "at" you. If you or someone you love has an unhealthy, unhappy relationship with food, I can help!

Being a psychologist allows me the privilege to participate in and witness the inspiring process of my clients as they journey towards a happier and more fulfilling life. Therapy is not just for those individuals in deep despair or experiencing serious mental illness. If you are human, have a family of origin, and life experience up until this point, you qualify! Our unique pasts come with opportunities for growth through hard work, self confrontation, and the courage to face whatever pain follows you into the office. Rather than avoiding pain, facing it can be a path to reaching full potential.

This has the propensity to escalate anxiety, depression, addiction, and disease and reactivates outdated coping skills and keeps our body in fight or flight.

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.
