If you, your
teen
, or family member is looking for LGBT Affirmative + Feminist care for your eating disorder treatment, you have the right place.
As a queer feminist, I understand the importance of having a culturally sensitive therapist. Knowing that your therapist is understanding of systemic issues, and how they play a role in mental health, is a key aspect in establishing a therapeutic relationship. I use feminist theory to unpack the societal norms and cultural narratives to which we are constantly exposed. I know first-hand the struggles of body image, perfectionism, and comparison as a
teen
and strive to provide space to unpack these struggles. I strive to create a safe, warm, and authentic connection with each client I work with.

Your child is a source of light. But maybe you've noticed their light has dimmed recently and you feel concerned. Perhaps your
teen
is falling behind in school, having difficulty connecting with their friends, or experiencing confusion as they explore their gender identity. Your young child may be having anger outbursts or challenges with their behavior at home. Adjusting to the ever-changing COVID-19 lifestyle might be causing worries and changes in mood or personality. Or your child might have experienced a major stressor like divorce, a death in the family, or even a traumatic event like a car accident or an act of violence.

is sullen and distanced, or you're in love and know you'd like to stay with this person, if you could only change a few things that really scare you.

I have years of training and experience working with
adolescent
and adult clients and families to heal their relationship with food, body image, and exercise addiction.
I focus on helping people separate their preferences from their problems, identify values that are most important to them, and determine the actions that will best express those values. I work collaboratively with people to detail their future hopes and honor the histories that inform their current experiences and relationships. "Therapeutic conversations help us navigate the limitations and dilemmas we all face. We each have ongoing stories about our lives, which are written by multiple authors: ourselves, our families, community, culture, and society. Some of these stories empower and embolden while others constrain and limit."

Teen Therapists
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol.
Most teens have a relatively egocentric perspective on life; a state of mind that usually abates with age. They often focus on themselves and believe that everyone else—from a best friend to a distant crush—is focused on them too. They may grapple with insecurities and feelings of being judged. Relationships with family members often take a backseat to peer groups, romantic interests, and appearance, which teens perceive as increasingly important during this time.
The transition can naturally lead to anxiety about physical development, evolving relationships with others, and one's place in the larger world. Mild anxiety and other challenges are typical, but serious mental health conditions also emerge during adolescence. Finding a teen therapist in Los Angeles and addressing a disorder early on can help ensure the best possible outcome.
