Most recently I worked as a Program Therapist at Memorial Hermann, focused on improving employee mental/physical health, treating obesity, and facilitating the weight management program.
I believe that every individual is capable of making positive changes to improve their lives. Some changes can be more difficult than others, and I believe therapy can help individuals navigate through difficulties and other stressors. My goal as a therapist lies in working to help my clients overcome obstacles and life stressors by teaching skills to improve thoughts, overall mood, and move towards healthier behaviors in order for them to meet personal goals and live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I use a variety of different methods that are individualized to meet the need of each client.

Yo, I call myself the Bro Therapist, the Bro Whisperer if you will because I know and speak typical Bro language. The typical Bro I work with the best is the guy who never became comfortable experiencing or expressing his emotions and developed several unhealthy short-term remedies to deal with them which worked fine until they no longer worked, usually in the form of their relationship with their significant other and/or children. If your goal is to learn how to find peace in stillness and to better connect with your family, I may be the right fit for you.

Sometimes it just feels so crippling when anxiety/depression or stress of life has a grip on your world. When you've tried everything and nothing seems to help and nobody seems to really understand what it takes to just get out of bed and function it can feel so hopeless. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) might be another option. Ketamine has been shown to quickly reduce depressive and anxious symptoms in hours rather than weeks and can "supercharge" the therapeutic process. For many clients, this approach feels like the breakthrough they've been searching for.

You are worried about their future, but don't know where to turn. I can help. Most of my clients are middle and high school students. I speak TikTok and Instagram.

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.
