Do you find yourself feeling like you are never enough and unworthy no matter what you do? Are you having difficulty saying “no” to others and pretending to be okay when you're not? Or perhaps you feel guilty or shameful when there is no reason to be? Past trauma can leave us feeling shameful, broken, unloved, and disconnected from our authentic selves. You feel you have to be perfect all the time with your relationships, work, and appearance. You want to appear like your life is great, but deep down, you are struggling to make it through the day most of the time, lacking motivation, confidence, and trust in yourself.

My approach to clients is meeting them where they are at and getting an understanding of their past and helping them create future goals. I work on the past first and move to the current and future. I use a combination of traditional counseling techniques with integrating mind, body, spirit and techniques in energy psychology, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and vibration sound healing and other forms of deep relaxation and natural holistic healing approaches if the client is interested in them.

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.
