People considering working with me should know that I am dedicated to creating a collaborative and non-judgmental environment. My treatment philosophy emphasizes a holistic approach, addressing both mental and physical health. I have extensive experience in managing complex mental health issues and a personal understanding of the challenges involved in weight loss and lifestyle changes. I am committed to helping clients achieve sustainable improvements in their health and well-being.

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.

A new client might want to know that I move clients into their emotional experience. I believe in the universality of emotionally focused work; this means that, while our logic and rationalizing plays an integral role in our decision making, our emotions play a significant role in how we connect to those we love and care about. Without vulnerability, and understanding how to build safety in our relationships, we learn to manage our feelings on our own; but, because we're only human, we don't completely grasp all of our emotions and needs at all points in our life.

***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.
