My Clients

In my work, I focus on living in the present, but do address past issues in so far as they interfere with healthy adult living in the present. Many patients, regardless of the reason they initially come to see me, have scars from childhood that affect their present-day thinking, behavior and attitudes. For every patient, I evaluate for family of origin patterns and any childhood trauma/abuse.

Healthy Living/Weight Loss

The majority of my time is spent working in the area of whole-person, healthy living, emphasizing the connection between mind, body and spirit. I work extensively in the area of weight loss and food/other addictions. My work in weight loss is with both surgical weight loss patients and medical (non-surgical) weight loss patients. I work almost exclusively with adults. Most of the people I see struggle with “daily life” issues to include depression, anxiety, stress, family issues, and relationship problems. Many times, the bottom line is that one’s coping skills are rooted in unhealthy practices. With patients, I review what one learned in their family of origin and from other sources of influence, help them determine if the skills they know are working for them, and work with them to discover healthier ways to deal with life as it happens.
