Obesity-Related Issues

Being obese can feel like you are trapped in your own body.  Your weight may be affecting your physical health, mental health, work, relationships, family, or more.  You may be suffering from loneliness, depression, self-loathing, or low self-esteem.  You may have even experienced discrimination because of your weight in the workplace or in a medical setting.  The causes of obesity are multifaceted, including biological, behavioral, trauma, and environmental factors.  Perhaps you’ve been obese since you were a child, or you slowly gained weight over time, yo-yo dieting and unable to have a healthy relationship with food.  These are some obesity-related issues that I can help you with:

• Body Image

• Depression

• Self-Esteem

• Overeating Issues

• Self-Destructive Behavior

• Past trauma

• Weight Discrimination

• Chronic Pain

• Anxiety

• Relationship Problems

• Sexual Issues

• Intuitive Eating Coaching

I have the unique combination of education and personal experience to truly help you stop focusing on the scale and deal with your actual symptoms.  Through my approach to counseling, I can walk alongside you on this journey where you will listen to your thoughts, pay attention to your behaviors, and develop a more peaceful connection with your body. 
​
Using a combination of compassion focused therapy, evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and intuitive eating methods, you will be able to build a healthier relationship with food and you will learn to love and accept yourself.
