I work with those in their late teens through geriatrics in individual, marital or family therapy. I thoroughly assess each client and work with their own unique circumstances and strengths to address their issues, resolve presenting problems and accomplish goals. I specialize in the treatment of issues including: mental illness, phase of life, grief and loss, reconciliation, divorce, adjustment to medical or mental health diagnosis, occupational, spiritual, trauma, abuse and women’s issues. Beyond my education and professional experience, I draw from a myriad of personal life experiences that have made me a better therapist.

What does counseling involve? Counseling can embrace much more than just addressing troubling thoughts, traumatic experiences, or when “things just don’t seem to be going your way.” Counseling can encompass the concept of accountability to guide you through your goals, whether health and fitness, wellness, and/or career goals. I use a system that lays out your goals for us to achieve them one at a time or combine them on the same “card”. I use an approach similar to the incident command system. Where we start with a “scene size up”, identify the strategies, and prioritize what “fire” we need to extinguish first.

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.

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.
