Whether you’re….

• Considering the possibility of taking a GLP-1 injection or oral medication (semaglutide medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, etc.)

• Currently taking a GLP-1 injection or oral medication

• Have discontinued a GLP-1 medication

You deserve expert care and support!

GLP-1 medications are powerful drugs that alter appetite hormone signaling, appetite cues, digestion, and food intake patterns. GLP-1 injections or oral medications have significant side effects and can have a substantial impact on many dimensions of your health and well-being (e.g., physical health, mental health, emotional health, relationships, sexual libido, etc.).

As a registered nurse with expertise in mental health and eating disorders, I can guide and support you as you navigate the challenges and benefits of these medications. These medications can profoundly change your relationship with food and your body. You deserve to work with a professional who has the expertise to safely guide you through the process at all stages.

Here are some examples of the relational support and guidance I can provide:

• Helping you evaluate the costs and benefits in deciding to take, or not to take, a GLP-1 medication. This will ensure that you receive full informed consent as you approach this important decision.

• Partnering with you to develop a tailored plan to support your nutritional status and manage side effects as you take a GLP-1 medication

• Supporting you as you navigate challenges and barriers in taking GLP-1 medications including body changes, lifestyle changes, changes in your relationships, etc.

• Being a supportive presence as you mentally and emotionally process what arises for you as you take a GLP-1 medication

• Collaborating with your medical team to monitor changes to your health metrics (e.g., vital signs, lab values like Hemoglobin A1c)

• Partnering with you to evaluate the effectiveness of your treatment and exploring how your relationship with food evolves as you take a GLP-1 medication

• Helping you formulate a plan when your doctor has recommended reducing or discontinuing a GLP-1 medication
