Healing the Root of Obesity: An EFT & IFS Approach
Struggling with obesity is rarely just about food; it is an emotional, often protective, response to life's experiences. As a therapist specialized in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you move beyond willpower and shame to create sustainable, lasting change.
IFS Approach: Together, we will get curious about the "parts" of you—such as the inner critic, the emotional eater, or the protector—that have taken on extreme roles to shield you from pain, trauma, or shame. We won't fight these parts; we will understand them, soothe them, and help them unburden, allowing you to build a more compassionate, trusting relationship with your body.
EFT Approach: I will help you identify the emotional triggers (boredom, sadness, stress) that fuel emotional eating, transforming your emotional reactivity into conscious self-regulation. We will break the cycle of self-criticism, healing the underlying emotional wounds that keep you stuck.
Instead of fighting your body, we will work with it, fostering self-acceptance while addressing the root causes of weight gain to help you find inner harmony and health.

West Valley City is Utah's second-largest city and one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the state, home to large Latino, Polynesian (particularly Tongan and Samoan), and refugee communities that make it dramatically different from the predominantly white, LDS suburban cities surrounding it in the Salt Lake Valley. This diversity creates significant demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy, and the intersection of mental health needs across immigrant, refugee, and Pacific Islander communities with Utah's broader LDS religious culture—which shapes community norms around mental health and help-seeking—creates a complex and underserved landscape. Intermountain Health and Valley Behavioral Health provide services in the area, and community health organizations address the specific trauma and adjustment needs of refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, acculturation, family stress, economic anxiety, and the challenges of navigating mental health in a city where cultural and religious contexts vary sharply across neighborhoods.
