The stress is overwhelming. Anxiety is at an all time high. Life is unpredictable and you don’t know how to cope with work, the kids, their school, and being quarantined. The desire to run from your house and not return has crossed your mind, but you dig deep and tell yourself today will be better. But it isn’t. The anxiety feels like it is going to explode from your chest. It starts settling into depression and you feel like you are walking in a fog. Unable to make decisions, not able to complete tasks, feeling frustrated and annoyed all the time. You just want life to be back to normal and it feels like there is no end in sight.

Life is about our journey, not about our circumstances. I love helping those who want to help themselves and who have a passion for MORE in their lives than the status quo. I want to help others find their joy! A significant focus for me is working with couples before during or after marriage OR divorce who are struggling to get their relationship to a healthier place. I work with an array of personal/individual and couple issues. I often do relationship therapy with just one person sitting on my couch. Change still happens; it's like the Butterfly Effect.

My theoretical approach to counseling involves working collaboratively with my clients to realize undiscovered and undeveloped resources within. Through a systemic counseling perspective, I focus on goals of fortifying resilience, illuminating strengths, and facilitating growth and development. I believe that every individual possesses significant and unique value and potential. As a trained EMDR practitioner, I have a special interest in working with clients to integrate past experiences with their current level of self-knowledge. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a method of assimilating past traumatic experiences into a coherent narrative of strength and resilience.

Does life feel like a constant state of crisis and chaos? Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, alone, anxious, or distracted? Perhaps you’ve been labeled as lazy, selfish, forgetful, or irresponsible, or that you are not putting enough effort or energy into doing something. But behind the scenes, you are trying to keep it all together, you want to do well and it just isn’t working. There is so much guilt and shame that shows up. It's a heavy burden to carry. You may find yourself questioning why even simple tasks like laundry, doing the dishes, or simple conversations seem so challenging.

Life is a complex gift, it was given to us with no true guidance or direction. We go through our phases and hope for the best outcomes, often we hit a wall and become trapped trying to find our way out. In protecting oneself from the unknown, we unconsciously close and lock the door to keep ourselves safe from what lurks behind it. These are the moments that become the hardest for us to reach out and ask for the help we need.

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.
