I appreciate your taking the time to consider me to be your psychologist. I come to you with over 30 years of experience. I had been in a private practice in NJ and recently relocated to Florida. My focus is individual psychotherapy. I utilize what I would call a compassionate form of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy with an emphasis on mindfulness based concepts. I do not believe in a one size fits all approach and will find the orientation and techniques that work for you as an individual.

My practice is limited, as I'm a full time Psychology Professor and Department Chair at a Florida State College. I have over two decades of experience providing psychotherapy and relationship counseling. My clients tell me the hardest thing about reaching out for help is not knowing where to start or who to call. I know I'm a stranger to you, but my hope is you feel comfortable enough to take a risk with me. Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions you may have.

Hello there, and welcome to my profile. My decision to work in this field was fueled by my observations of my mom's experiences with mental health treatment. As a result, I have strong compassion for people and I approach treatment differently. I am constantly looking for new and effective treatments that can be pleasant and enjoyable. I am a huge animal lover and I believe that animals enrich our lives and trigger our natural compassion for others. This is why I incorporate animals in my practice. There is nothing more uplifting than to be greeted by two wagging tails.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with many years in private practice helping people with all sorts of problems in life. Because I’m older, I’ve had many of the problems that are common to us all and dealt with them successfully, including life transitions, relationship problems, weight control, career difficulties, financial challenges, weight control, and mood and emotional problems. Because I discovered an effective weight loss method, losing over 100 pounds permanently after 25 years of dieting failure, weight control has become a speciality.

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.
