Evidence-based, identity-honoring, and unflinching about the hard parts.
I work collaboratively with clients struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image, neurodivergence, addiction, and trauma. My practice also includes LGBTQIA+ folks and people in non-traditional relationship structures, including those whose body image struggles uniquely show up in the LGBTQIA+ and Kink communities (for example, gender dysphoria as distinct from body dysmorphia).
As Director of Eating Disorder and Body Image Services at Turn the Mind, I provide individual and group therapy, develop programs, and supervise clinicians across treatment settings. I also design and implement training programs, supervision, and quality improvement initiatives for eating disorder staff to ensure clinical excellence and adherence to best practices.
My mission is to create a safe, inclusive space where clients can reconnect with their authentic selves and work toward living fulfilling lives.
A practice rooted in cultural humility.
I provide a sanctuary for individuals navigating identities that are often misunderstood or marginalized in traditional clinical settings. I work actively to support, not pathologize.
A therapist who gets it
For clients navigating transition, coming out, or simply seeking a clinician who understands their experience without explanation.
No mononormative bias
Support for the unique dynamics of consensual non-monogamy, open relationships, and multi-partner structures, free of the assumption that monogamy is the only valid path.
A Kink-aware space
Your lifestyle and interests are respected and integrated into your healing journey. Never pathologized, never centered as the problem.
Built on rigorous, ongoing training.
