If you’re struggling in this season of life with food, your body, or your sense of self, you don’t have to hold this alone. You might be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel sustainable. Therapy can be a space to slow down, get curious about what’s happening beneath those patterns, and relate to yourself with more compassion. Together, we’ll explore how culture, identity, trauma, and neurodiversity shape the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Over time, you may begin to feel more at home in yourself.
I specialize in eating disorder recovery and body image work, with a focus on supporting LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and anyone exploring their identity. I help clients build a gentler relationship with food, body, and self through a queer-affirming lens. My approach is grounded in Health at Every Size (HAES), body liberation, and harm reduction principles.
I am a queer, nonbinary therapist with over a decade of experience across multiple levels of care. I bring clinical expertise and a deep appreciation for the complexity of healing and self-discovery. If you’re curious about working together, please reach out. I offer a free phone consultation and would be glad to connect with you.
