Anxiety, depression, panic disorders, and unhealthy relationships can often be traced back to unresolved trauma, particularly if it took place over a long period of time or targeted your own self-worth. Your story doesn't have to end there; I can help. I've been a member of veteran and first responder communities for over 20 years and I specialize in working with those populations, including those struggling with chronic illnesses and rehabilitative medicine. Prior to counseling, I also served for fifteen years as an educator and developed a passion for helping adolescents and young adults to navigate their pathways to adulthood.

While I work with a variety of concerns: relationship problems, addictions, eating disorders/obesity, trauma/PTSD, emotional adjustment and behavioral issues, sexual orientation conflicts, anxiety and depression, my goal is to help you understand the meaning of your particular symptoms so the underlying emotional experiences can be identified and resolved.
Hello! Do you find yourself struggling with the same problems or just want more from life? Though we long for real support, the world instead often tells us to "suck it up," "get over it" or "take your medication." Many of us turn to self-medication. But you don't have to settle for just "getting by." I help people safely make contact, and actively deal with the the emotional origin of their issues. More than just talking about feelings or trying to control negative thoughts, the goal is to identify, understand and complete the unfinished business that has been troubling your life until now.

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.
