Welcome to a space where your weight loss journey is understood and supported. As someone who has personally navigated the challenges of shedding pounds, I know the hurdles all too well. My own transformation involved a medical-assisted weight loss program that enabled me to lose 48 pounds in just five months during 2022. The real victory, however, has been keeping that weight off and embracing a healthier lifestyle. My approach to weight management is comprehensive and compassionate. I believe that successful weight loss isn't just about the numbers on a scale—it's about your mental health, your daily habits, and sometimes, the right medical support. Together, we'll explore strategies tailored to your unique needs, fostering sustainable habits that contribute to your overall well-being. Let's embark on this transformative path together, with the goal of not only achieving but also maintaining a healthier you.

***ACCEPTING CLIENTS*** In my practice, I have cultivated a passion for clients who are dealing with issues like emotional neglect, abuse, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I create a safe space for clients who have struggled getting “caught in the same cycle over and over again.” You might be someone who has found yourself in a relationship that questions your safety and security. When we grow accustomed to repeating patterns of neglectful or traumatic relationships, it changes the way we view ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. I value the research behind the most successful model of couple therapy – Emotionally Focused Therapy. By creating a safe space to process difficult emotions, I work with individuals or couples who are looking to navigate emotional struggles that create further disconnect and isolation in their lives. “We can remain a mere speck of dust, resting on the edge of a windowsill, left untouched.” I learned a great deal from stepping outside of the patterns that left me dealing with emotions on my own. Taking that step to pursue counseling can be met with resistance from fear or worry. I assure you, my goal is to walk the journey with you.
