As a bariatric therapist, many of my clients are preparing for bariatric surgery or have already undergone a bariatric procedure. Clients I collaborate with may be seeking support to maintain the lifestyle changes required for long-term success. My clients often deal with issues such as emotional eating, food addiction, or low self-esteem related to their weight. Some clients are seeking guidance on making sustainable dietary changes, developing a regular exercise routine, and understanding the psychological aspects of weight wellness.

My clients goals are often to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, improve their overall health, and enhance their quality of life. They want to feel understood and supported in their journey, seeking someone who can provide both the clinical expertise and the compassionate encouragement needed to navigate the complex emotional and physical challenges they face.

As a licensed clinical social worker with expertise in bariatric counseling, I can offer comprehensive support tailored to the unique needs of bariatric patients. My background as a certified nutrition coach and personal trainer allows me to provide informed advice on nutrition and exercise, while my fellowship with the American Association of Bariatric Counselors underscores my specialized focus on the psychological aspects of weight management.

I am equipped to handle both the individual nuances of my clients' experiences and the dynamics of group therapy, where clients can find additional support and community. With my holistic approach, I can help clients not just in losing weight but in making the kind of deep-seated lifestyle changes that foster physical and emotional wellbeing.

Anyone struggling with the challenges of weight loss, especially those related to bariatric surgery, should feel free to reach out to explore how we can work together to achieve lasting change. I understand the journey you are on, and I am here to walk alongside you with professional guidance and heartfelt support.
