Obesity Therapists in Clementon, NJ

I enjoy helping people improve their quality of life. I recognize how difficult it is to share your personal life with me & trust that I can help you. Most people find that I am easy to talk to & they are comfortable working with me. I have helped many individuals learn how to use tools & coping strategies to reduce and eliminate depression, anxiety, postpartum, stress due to work, parenting, care-giving, midlife issues & an "empty nest". I also have helped individuals deal with their feelings of grief due to loss, infertility, and divorce.

Managing stressors; improving self-esteem and self-efficacy; overcoming significant events; and becoming our true and genuine selves are often what we strive for in life. Our own negative and self-defeating thoughts, actions, and negative impactful experiences can overshadow this. In my years of practice as a therapist and life coach, I have helped people overcome these barriers to become their genuine and authentic selves.

My intention is to support people in living a life that honors their highest good. To that end I work with clients to identify core belief systems and behaviors that interefere with this goal. Together we discover how and why they developed these now dysfunctional life patterns. I assist them in developing new, self-nurturing coping skills and most importantly encourage them to embrace themselves with unconditional love and compassion. I have extensive experience working with issues regarding compulsive eating, bariatric surgery, life transitions, anxiety, depression and end of life.

My goal is to help people find answers for questions they may have about themselves. This includes individuals exploring the diagnoses of Autism and ADHD in adulthood. I also work with individuals pursuing bariatric surgery, completing their evaluation and providing recommendations for their care. At this time I do not work with insurance companies, but will disclose all fees associated with assessments prior to scheduling your appointment.

Therapy assists in uncovering the true self. Learning how to recognize feelings enables people to understand themselves more effectively. During therapy individuals learn how to identify feelings and take control of their own lives. By learning how to pay attention to instincts and begin to challenge beliefs individuals can grow instead of stagnate. We promote personal growth and the establishment of healthy communication so our clients can achieve serenity within themselves.

My mission statement is focused on assisting others to find their autonomy, self-actualization, and sense of empowerment in the midst of every day challenges.

In the wise words of Maya Angelou, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, humor, and style."

Life can be challenging but it doesn't have to stay that way. In fact, I believe that through life’s hurdles, we develop resourceful ways to cope.
