As a bariatric therapist, I work with clients pre- and post-bariatric surgery, helping them adhere to lifestyle changes for sustained success. They often confront emotional eating, food addiction, and low self-esteem due to weight issues. My role includes guiding them through sustainable diet adjustments, exercise plans, and the mental factors of weight management. My clients aim to reach a healthy weight, boost their health, and better their life quality. They seek empathy and support, along with professional advice to tackle the intricate emotional and physical trials on their path.
I'm a licensed social worker specialized in bariatric care, offering custom support with nutrition and fitness expertise. Affiliated with the American Association of Bariatric Counselors, I focus on the mental and physical aspects of weight loss, facilitating holistic health in individual and group therapy.
Anyone struggling with the challenges of weight loss, especially those related to bariatric surgery, should feel free to reach out to explore how we can work together to achieve lasting change. I understand the journey you are on, and I am here to walk alongside you with professional guidance and heartfelt support.
