I have been told that I am a really easy person to talk to & I try to create a relaxed atmosphere in therapy. I have years of experience working with kids. I have decades of experience working with teenagers. Most of my schooling was done to work with adults. I even have military experience to work with veterans. I always strive to find methods to improve your success. That is why using the latest research, I developed Cognitive Physical Conditioning (CPC). CPC can improve clients' ability to overcome mental disorders & nearly double their chance of success with less time in treatment & reduced relapse

How can we have more peace, resiliency, and deeper connection in our relationships? How do we reduce anxiety, depression, harmful or addictive behaviors? We often wonder how or if it is even possible to change life-long patterns that have limited our potential and growth. Research indicates (as well as my personal and professional experience) two, very powerful approaches to change and healing that provide long-term results: the spiritual Recovery model and Emotionally-Focused therapy. Both approaches, coupled with an honest willingness to change, and an experienced therapist, hits the "bullseye" on the target for effective change!

I understand the complexities of life and relationships and how hard it can be to navigate. It can feel overwhelming and even helpless at times. I approach life and therapy with a wide lens. I like to take a holistic approach to mental health and I understand that our mental, physical and spiritual parts are intertwined. As humans we are made to feel emotions. I don’t view life or therapy as a process of learning to avoid difficult or uncomfortable feelings or a process of perfection. I view it as a process of discovery, acceptance, growth, and understanding.

As humans, we learn to cope with unpleasant feelings and situations using our innate strengths. Despite doing our best those strategies are sometimes ineffective or unhelpful. The way we try to avoid pain may cause us distress and create problems that become hard-wired into our identity, and reduce our ability to function and connect fully with others. In a warm, supportive environment we can experience change as we embrace what we feel, become aware of our emotional patterns, and create internal harmony. My mission as a therapist is to help you cope think, and feel better using a wide range of empirically-based interventions.

None of us are immune to pain in life. We all have difficult thoughts, feelings, experiences, and relationships. Sometimes we get stuck in these difficulties. Maybe life circumstances have left us depleted from prolonged stress, maybe we unconsciously picked up harmful beliefs about ourselves, maybe we were never taught helpful coping strategies or relationship skills, or maybe we’ve been hurt by others. While we might get stuck, we don’t have to stay that way. Working with a therapist can be an incredible and powerful experience that helps you get unstuck so you can create the life and relationships you’re seeking.

You're essentially hiring for a specialized service, so you're the boss. Research indicates that about 70% of therapy's effectiveness hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Therefore, it's crucial to choose a counselor you trust, feel comfortable with, and can connect with genuinely. Having been a client myself, I recognize the immense importance of finding the right fit.

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.
