About me

GenderFemale
OccupationLicensed Marriage & Family Therapist
LocationSanta Ana, California, United States
IntroductionI have been a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Orange County, CA since 1999. As a Lap-Band patient and a therapist I am inspired to help and support people who struggle with "disordered eating" with a particular emphasis on Bariatric Surgery patients. I have started this blog as a way to create a safe place to discuss topics relevant to lap-band patients and to support people in living and thriving with their lap-band.
InterestsMy focus has been helping families, individuals & couples cope with a range of issues including everyday stressors, difficulties with life transitions or coping with crisis.
