I offer counseling sessions tailored to individuals and couples grappling with matters such as weight management and obesity, issues of trust, the relentless pursuit of perfection, emotional disconnection, generalized anxiety and depression. My therapeutic approach revolves around aiding individuals in their healing process. by illuminating the ways in which their cognitive patterns regarding self-perception and interpersonal dynamics shape their behavior, which may be contributing to feelings of stagnation and unfulfillment.

This expertise in nutrition and exercise adds to my expertise to effectively counsel clients for binge eating, obesity, lifestyle health concerns as well as stress, anxiety, depression and bi-polar.
Most of life's difficulties we humans experience can be made better by doing something different. What needs to be different is at the center of therapy. Learning how to give up old behaviors in favor of new, more healthy actions, goes hand in hand with operating differently. Often when we attempt to live differently, negative emotions will kick in that cause us to cling to the old ways. Having someone understand you and these emotions will enhance and smooth out the process of evolving into the person you want to be.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, eating disorder treatment including Binge Eating Disorder, Obesity, and personality disorders including Borderline Personality Disorder. I am certified in EMDR and well trained in working with trauma and PTSD. If you find yourself stuck in the same self defeating patterns or constantly overreact in anger, I can help. Poor sleep, drinking too much, raging, binge eating/excessive dieting, or over medicating can dull emotional pain but there are more effective ways to cope and reduce stress to find a life that offers more peace, joy, and healthier relationships.

Be assured that I will see you as a person rather than a diagnosis. I believe that each person is unique and so should their therapy be. As such, I draw from multiple psychological approaches and tailor my approach to your specific needs.

Along the road, we all developed temporary tools to solve the problems in our lives. Unfortunately, we often forgot to stop using those tools, and they became "permanent." In the end, using the wrong tool to solve a problem does not make one's life better, only worse. In therapy, I work with adolescents and adults to re-tool and get more of what they want out of life.

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.
