I work with women who put a lot of pressure on themselves and feel overwhelmed by motherhood, life transitions, and the constant pull to “hold it all together.” You might feel exhausted, anxious, irritable, or stuck in patterns like emotional eating or notice yourself snapping at the people you love. My goal is to offer a safe space where you can say what you can’t say out loud - without guilt or shame - and start to make sense of what you’re carrying. I specialize in perinatal mental health and women’s emotional health, including postpartum, the emotional impact of motherhood, perimenopause, and other major life transitions.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to heal from the inside out. They may be carrying the weight of childhood wounds, unresolved trauma, anxiety, or self-destructive patterns like addiction. Often, they’ve tried traditional approaches and still feel disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure how to move forward. Their goals are deep: to feel safe, to understand their patterns, to quiet the inner critic, and to reconnect with a sense of purpose and peace. Whether through inner child healing, past life regression, or subconscious reprogramming, they are seeking not just symptom relief, but true healing.

Our relationship to self is the most important one that we will ever have. A bond with a supportive therapist who witnesses and understands us is instrumental in helping us to improve that relationship. I seek to help clients change how they relate to themselves and the world around them. Trauma, attachment issues, toxic families of origin, oppression, grief, and neurodiversity are just some just some factors that make it more difficult to live in the present and find fulfillment in life. I have ten years of experience and have treated clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, bariatric surgery, ADHD, OCD and Autism.

Hello. If you are looking for a therapist, the most important thing is for you to work with someone who will relate specifically to you and can help you heal. I work with each client as a unique individual with a goal to heal the whole person. Real and lasting change comes not only from an understanding of your issues and concerns, but from creating corrective emotional experiences that allow you to release old and unproductive patterns of thinking and behaving.

Weight Loss Therapists
What is the relationship between weight management and mental health?
Mental health can be significantly influenced by one's physical health, so overall improvements in one's quality of life as a result of improved physical functioning from weight loss can have an overall positive impact on an individual's mental health and allow them to engage more readily in everyday activities. In addition, many strategies used to manage weight, such as exercise and maintaining a healthy diet, are also associated with reducing the symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Individuals may also benefit from the improved self-esteem and self-efficacy that can come with successful weight management.

What is the psychological approach to losing weight?
While there are no specific therapy modalities specifically for weight loss, common psychological therapies can be highly effective in helping clients make lasting lifestyle changes. This may be called the "psychological approach" to weight loss because it does not rely on physical interventions, such as medication or weight loss surgery, to help clients lose weight. Weight loss counseling can be used in addition to or instead of such physical interventions. Some clients simply seek therapy to address the challenges that may accompany weight loss in general, including negative thoughts surrounding their body, disordered eating patterns, or difficulty completing daily tasks as a result of their weight challenges. In such cases, therapists will often utilize behavioral coaching or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients understand how their thoughts may be influencing their diet and physical activity patterns.

What type of therapy is commonly used in weight loss counseling?
Weight loss counseling often involves a combination of therapy and psychoeducation. Common techniques used by weight loss counselors include journaling, thought diaries, and other Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies that encourage clients to consider how their feelings about their weight loss impact their mental health. Weight loss counselors may also teach clients mindfulness exercises, which can be used by clients during and after eating to be more aware of physical cues from their body surrounding eating. Some clients looking for weight loss therapy may also benefit from group therapy approaches, which utilize the power of social connection and accountability to help clients adhere to their weight loss plan.

Is therapy recommended for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery?
While therapy is not a requirement for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, many individuals undergoing weight loss surgery may benefit from seeing a counselor. Prior to surgery, counselors can help clients decide whether surgical weight loss is a good fit for them and assist in surgery preparation. Post-surgery, counselors can assist clients with the psychological component of maintaining their weight loss, as well as help clients navigate any postoperative pain. Throughout the surgical process, therapists can help clients process body-image challenges that may come with dramatic changes in weight, as well as manage symptoms of anxiety or depression that may accompany the major life changes bariatric surgery can bring.
