My clientele for the past 30+ years have been largely executives and business owners referred by colleagues. As a result I work especially well with clients many therapists avoid-aggressive, opinionated and highly verbal people, including men. My colleagues frequently refer friends and family members to me as well as difficult clients, in addition, I work well with couples. I keep abreast of current therapy systems and adapt my style to the needs of the client. I do not fall into the managed care trap of shortchanging the client in order to accommodate bureaucracy.

Hello and welcome! I specialize in psychodynamic therapy for millennials with anxiety. As part of my doctorate, I trained at the Tavistock Clinic in London, an internationally renowned institution for psychodynamic training. Psychodynamic therapy can be both challenging and transformative. I may be the right therapist for you if you're willing to engage in deep, meaningful work and push out of your comfort zone. Together we will identify and explore the patterns that keep you stuck. I will challenge you to think deeply about how these patterns came to be, your role in maintaining them, and the changes you may wish to make.

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.
