I enjoy working with adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of obstacles, including: anxiety and mood disorders, addiction, relationship issues, obesity, life transitions, and grief.
I believe that every individual is capable of making positive changes to improve their lives. Some changes can be more difficult than others, and I believe therapy can help individuals navigate through difficulties and other stressors. My goal as a therapist lies in working to help my clients overcome obstacles and life stressors by teaching skills to improve thoughts, overall mood, and move towards healthier behaviors in order for them to meet personal goals and live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I use a variety of different methods that are individualized to meet the need of each client.

What does coaching involve? Coaching can embrace much more than just addressing troubling thoughts, traumatic experiences, or when “things just don’t seem to be going your way.” Coaching can encompass the concept of accountability to guide you through your goals, whether health and fitness, wellness, and/or career goals. I use a system that lays out your goals for us to achieve them one at a time or combine them on the same “card”. I use an approach similar to the incident command system. Where we start with a “scene size up”, identify the strategies, and prioritize what “fire” we need to extinguish first.

Sometimes things happen that profoundly change the way we experience life. Whether expected or not, life transitions can leave us feeling anxious, angry, alone, or depressed. These changes can come in many forms, including the loss of a loved one, infertility, a divorce or break up, job changes, chronic illness, leaving home, etc. My goal is to help you process the many emotions that accompany the adjustments in your life and discover new strengths and experiences that come along with it. Give me a call to embrace your new day.

My ideal client is someone who is open-minded and willing to reach into themself to rediscover this actualization tendency. I appreciate a client who is open to self-exploration, personal growth, and collaboration in the therapeutic process. I love working with people who may be struggling with their identities, relationships, and attachments. Dealing with such issues can feel hopeless and isolating to many people, especially those who do not receive adequate support and validation.

Sometimes it just feels so crippling when anxiety/depression or stress of life has a grip on your world. When you've tried everything and nothing seems to help and nobody seems to really understand what it takes to just get out of bed and function it can feel so hopeless. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) might be another option. Ketamine has been shown to quickly reduce depressive and anxious symptoms in hours rather than weeks and can "supercharge" the therapeutic process. For many clients, this approach feels like the breakthrough they've been searching for.

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.
