I specialize in clients who are on a journey with Bariatric surgery, from the psychological assessment to post-operative sessions to help find new coping skills and communication skills to use with family and friends. I understand how this process can impact not only an individual's physical health but also their mental health because I went through the surgery myself in 2012. I believe that healing in counseling begins with the formation of a therapeutic relationship, built on a foundation of trust, honesty, and collaboration. I approach my clients with respect and compassion to help you work from your strengths to make changes in your life. I work from a client-centered, strengths-based approach in order to help you address and meet your goals.
