Daniel Le Grange and I'm certified in family-based treatment (FBT) by the Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders.
Have you been feeling down or anxious? Are you stressed about eating or body image? I provide therapy for adolescents and adults with eating, mood, and anxiety disorders. I specialize in treating disordered eating, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and picky eating. Difficulties with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma and/or life transitions can be related to trouble with eating and body image. I work to understand how these experiences interact for each individual, tailoring therapy to fit their unique needs and strengths. My approach is weight-inclusive, queer-affirming, and respectful of cultural diversity.

Accepting new teen and adult clients, relationships, and families in person in Pasadena, Los Angeles and virtual via telehealth.

Together, we will create a container in which you can authentically examine your relationships with others as well as the pivotal relationship to self.

My experience has been in collaborating with adolescent, adult, and older adult clients challenged by depression, anxiety, grief and loss, identity development, mood disorders, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
Often, the clients that find their way to me are Black, Indigenous, and other men of color looking to process and work through anxiety or depression, questions of sexuality and gender, burnout and stress, and concerns related to how they show up in the world as men. In my practice, I support teens and adults in unpacking, making sense of, and growing from their past and present life challenges. We work together to re-author limiting narratives, uncover hidden strengths, and build resilience. I also work with couples and others in relationships seeking to disrupt dysfunctional patterns, improve communication, and enhance connection.

I also meet with parents so that we can collaborate to help your teen.
A therapy relationship that is working well supports your curiosity about yourself, openness to possibilities, and capacity to transform vulnerabilities into areas of strength and growth. My approach to therapy involves using respectful, empathic listening to create a safe place where you can bring difficult and painful feelings and life situations - a place where you don't have to be alone with them. Through our work together, you experience yourself differently. In therapy, you can try out new ways of being who you are, and when you're ready, you can bring these into the rest of your life.

“There’s nothing more healing than choosing love.” You want connection and closeness yet you struggle to find it.

Perhaps you're struggling with isolation, anxiety, depression, or overwhelm. These are real challenges. Together we can co-create a gentle yet courageous space to explore who you are, what you need, and how to try new things that move you toward what you value most in life and in your relationships.
