My background includes working with those experiencing racial issues, grief, depression, family conflict, women issues, self-esteem issues, obesity, coping skills, codependency, and a variety of other areas.
“I believe everyone deserves a chance; a chance at happiness, a chance at love, a chance at life, any CHANCE! I find extreme purpose as I assist individuals to find what satisfies them as well as presented barriers, restrictions, and issues faced in their journey. I strive to support them in finding peace and finding their own purpose.” My personal choices have lead me towards a career of advocacy and service on behalf of the abused, neglected and traumatized due to family violence and sexual assault. “Whatever issue you may be facing, you do not have to do so alone. Allow me to join you on the journey to find the Greater in YOU!”

I am currently only accepting new clients for Assessments (ADHD, learning disabilities, Autism, mood disorders, etc). Do you feel stuck, or at an impasse in your current life? Perhaps the use of a substance or a behavior has become a larger piece of your life than you wanted it to. It could be that anxiety or depression have kept you from achieving what you want, or being who you want to be. Maybe you’ve had a change in your life that’s been difficult to handle. Perhaps your child/teen is having difficulty at home or in school. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and tailor my approach to each individual.

Sometimes we don't feel connected to ourselves. Our excitement and motivation in life is just gone. Depression, anxiety, and all the "what ifs" set in which become overwhelming. How do I get out of this rut? What can I do to feel better with myself and move forward in life? Why can't I be like others around me? These are hard questions and can feel intense. It can feel overwhelming to do this alone, so I want to explore this with you. Let’s connect with your body and see where you are feeling lost or out of control. Let’s talk about being comfortable with yourself again.

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.
