About My Clients
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in working with eating disorders, body image distress, anxiety, and depression. I'm passionate about supporting clients gain insight about their emotions and learn how to use these emotions to guide them towards living in alignment with their values to be their most authentic self. If you've ever felt "overly sensitive," overwhelmed by emotions, or "too much," I'm excited to help you embrace your sensitivity and rich emotional life.
My Background and Approach
As a member of the LGBTQ community, I work from a place of inclusivity and radical acceptance. I want my clients to felt heard, understood, and celebrated in their identity, emotions, and selfhood. I'm passionate about helping clients move from poor body image towards body respect and care. I have experience working with LGBTQ youth and served as a therapist and Team Leader at an eating disorder treatment center in Los Angeles.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that therapy should be about examining how systems of oppression like weight stigma, racism, and homophobia keep people believing that they're the problem instead of pushing back against these systems. In my own struggles with anxiety, depression, and body image issues, I felt unacceptable, "too much," and like my emotions were too big, too intense, and too overwhelming. In my own therapy, I began to realize that my emotions were a gift, not a curse, that I could use them for radical empathy and understanding rather than feeling controlled by them. In struggling with my own body image issues, I've learned to feed myself intuitively, respect my body for what it can do for me, and recognize how diet culture and weight stigma were the real problem, not my body itself. I want to help you use your emotions as a guide and reclaim a compassionate relationship with your body and yourself.
