Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.

Hundreds of infusions later, we have seen how ketamine works biologically, psychotherapy works behaviorally, and the combo of the two leads to exponential change. We KNOW this is a new and emerging modality, so please feel free to reach out and schedule a call to ask your questions, share your concerns. The "traditional" practices I founded in 2014 are also remaining open! Both of these businesses focus on healing, integration, growth and teaching people the life changing skill of psychological flexibility.

Are you suffering from the effects of trauma? Do you often feel anxious, and for no reason? Have your relationships suffered because of these symptoms? If so, I can help you. In fact, due to the treatment I offer, many of my clients who suffer from the effects of trauma require less than 10 sessions to experience significant symptom reduction.

“People may be complicated, but therapy doesn’t have to be.” This is a motto I developed after recognizing that people respond best when the message and the skill set are straightforward and commonsensical. What I bring to the therapeutic table is a wealth of experience caring for the body and the mind with all it’s complexities and frailties. A tired body reflects a tired mind and vice versa. I work to help you achieve balance, regulation and increased strength to manage all areas of your life. The results for you are healthier relationships, increased endurance to navigate present difficulties and sustaining resilience.

My theoretical orientation is eclectic and integrative incorporating interpersonal process therapy (IPT) (here and now), psychodynamic, relational and CBT models. I approach therapy from a strengths based approach, focusing on client’s inherent strengths and resiliencies rather than their weaknesses. I also utilize CBT to focus on changing negative core beliefs and cognitive distortions and DBT to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal assertiveness skills. Lastly, I am very relational in my approach in order to provide clients with a corrective emotional experience and holding environment for them to feel safe, secure, empowered and validated.

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.
