I am a Clinical Psychologist and owner of Harbor Fields Psychology. I challenge the idea that mental health should be measured by mood, as mood is fluid and often varies moment to moment. Rather, I measure mental wellness by whether you live with meaning and purpose and linearly to your own beliefs and values. My approach to psychotherapy is attuned, reflective, and collaborative. I perceive the therapeutic alliance as the foundation to creating a deeper, more forgiving, and compassionate relationship to yourself and living a more integrated life.

I have been treating clients for almost 43 years ow. My framework in treatment is the symbiotic and cybernetic relationship between mind and body based in Buddhist Psychology, knowing and appreciating that an imbalance in one directly and drastically affects the other. My primary treatment modality is MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy). Balance and homeostasis are the ultimate goals

Excessive stress, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and even depressive thoughts can manifest during all different time periods in our life. Many of the work with my clients surrounds around life transitions, illness, chronic illness, loss, work related stress and relationship issues/ break ups and body dysmorphia. While times like these can get tough and may even feel unbearable, it is important for you to know that these feelings/ situations are completely normal and you do not have to cope with these feelings and situations on your own.

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.
