When life gives us challenges, it can be helpful to have an outlet and support when facing them. I strive to provide an open, non-judgmental space for those looking to address issues around stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and coping with loss. I work with preteens, adolescents, and adults in a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to help develop skills to adapt to life changes and provide a comfortable environment to cope with difficult emotions.

***Accepting new clients but no appointments after 3pm or on Saturdays available*** Life's level of crazy just keeps climbing. Even breathing seems difficult right now. Anxiety, worry, stress, fear. So many unknowns and so much uncertainty. Will you homeschool your children or do hybrid learning? Will you work from home, hire a sitter, or will you have to resign? Covid is taking a toll on your marriage, the house is getting smaller every day. Everyone seems to be adapting to this "new normal", except you. I'm here to remind you that fear is contagious, but so is HOPE.

Does life stress you out sometimes? Are everyday stressors affecting your happiness, job, or relationship? Sorting out feelings and communicating effectively can be difficult. A therapeutic relationship is a powerful vehicle for change and helpful in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, and relationship issues.

Please Note: I presently am not accepting new patients. If you are managing a recent loss, coping with anxiety, depression or physical illness, it can be helpful to talk to a therapist. I enjoy working with people from adolescent to elder, and with couples of any age. Sometimes anxiety can keep us from accomplishing what we want to in life, or insomnia makes it difficult to engage with the world as fully as we would like to. I have worked with many of these kinds of issues, as well as those experiencing life-changing health problems including diabetes, pain and cancer.

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.
