If you're struggling with body image, your relationship with food, or your identity, you don't have to figure it out alone. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or like therapy hasn't quite fit before. Especially LGBTQ2PIA+ children, teens, young adults, and family members supporting a loved one with a severe mental illness (SMI). Therapy can be a place where you feel affirmed, grounded and truly understood.
I specialize in working with LGBTQ2PIA+ folx who are navigating eating disorders, identity exploration, and family dynamics impacted by serious mental health challenges. With experience in higher levels of care (inpatient, residential, PHP, IOP), I offer grounded, structured, and affirming therapy for high-acuity needs.
Finding the right therapist matters. If you're looking for specialized, affirming support and want to see if working together feels right, I invite you to schedule a consultation.

Groups
Caregivers of Serious Mental Illness (SMI) Support
This is a virtual group for parents, partners, siblings, and loved ones of individuals with severe mental illness. Caring for someone with a serious condition, especially during a first episode of psychosis, a new diagnosis, or hospitalization, can feel overwhelming and isolating. This group offers emotional support, psychoeducation, and practical tools to better understand symptoms, navigate treatment systems, and manage the impact on family relationships. Topics include coping with uncertainty, handling crisis and stress, setting boundaries, and maintaining your own wellbeing. Open to both new and long-term caregivers, the group provides connection, validation, and ongoing support.
