Do others take so much of you that you’ve run out of pieces of yourself? While you’re taking care of work, family, or school expectations, how would you have time to even notice your own needs? I work with so many women, from college students to busy professional moms, who know this feeling. It seems we’re taught that our self-worth is rooted in other people’s opinions, instead of how we see ourselves. That can leave us dealing with stress, low self-esteem, weight frustrations, and more. In my 25 years of experience, I’ve never met a woman who wasn’t strong, resilient, and much more than how she sees herself.

I'm extremely passionate about helping others live to their truest potential. Life has a way of putting many of us in a chronic fight or flight mode, and I strive to bring people back to their space of equilibrium. That place you go when you close your eyes and think about a life without as much chaos doesn't have to be a mere daydream, we can work together to make it reality.

In today’s world, we’re taught the answers to our problems are found in titles, marriages, appearance, material objects, outward success, & money. No matter the ailment, there’s something to chase that’ll make you whole. Modern notions of happiness confine us because, deep down, we know the satisfaction eventually fades. As we become disillusioned to achievement, consumerism, & the newest health fads, we begin to long for something real. The disparity between our deeper needs & the contemporary recipe for fulfillment leaves us feeling empty.

Sometimes life can feel like we are stuck in the mud. We are struggling to get out, to break free, but it feels like we can't get out. We may feel frustrated, angry, anxious, helpless, or distraught. When this happens, it can be difficult to know how to deal with what happened or what type of help we need.

Being human is hard. Each one of us, at some point in our lives, faces obstacles to moving forward. We get caught in cycles of running away from pain, and thus stop moving towards our values. My work focuses on helping people develop a relationship to themselves while moving through their pain and struggles- so that they can live life everyday, not just when the sun is shining. When we can befriend ourselves, we can know who we are, what we want, and in what direction we'd like to walk.

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.
