My Ideal Client

As the seasons change, you may find yourself thinking about what has changed in your own life. You may be navigating a more complicated relationship with food or your body, exploring your identity, moving through grief, or struggling to put your feelings into words. Whatever this season of life holds, you don't have to go through it alone. There's room for you here.

My Background and Approach

I’m a queer, nonbinary therapist with over a decade of clinical experience working across multiple levels of care, including Residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient. I provide Telehealth therapy for individuals living in Oregon, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I specialize in supporting adults navigating eating disorder recovery, body image healing, and LGBTQIA2S+ mental health. I am also experienced working with a wide range of other concerns, such as grief and life transitions. I believe the "fit" of the therapeutic relationship is what's most important. The heart of my practice is building bridges of compassion between the body, mind, and sense of self. My holistic, trauma-informed approach is grounded in HAES, body liberation, harm reduction, queer affirmation, and neurodiversity affirmation.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

I am a creative, gentle, and grounded clinician who values creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their experiences, navigate change and loss, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. My approach is collaborative and affirming, making room for the complexity of being human and the many ways people experience growth, healing, and change. Whatever is bringing you to therapy, I welcome you to reach out. I offer a free phone consultation and am happy to connect. (A few logistics before scheduling a free phone consultation: My services are provided exclusively through a secure Telehealth platform for clients located in Oregon, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. My practice is private pay, with a standard fee of $230 per 50-minute session. I have a limited number of sliding-scale spots available based on financial circumstances and availability. I provide superbills for clients seeking potential out-of-network reimbursement.)

Specialties

  • Eating Disorder External link

    I specialize in helping individuals navigating eating disorders, body image disturbance, and LGBTQIA2S+ mental health, with thoughtfulness towards their intersectionality. I have worked in eating disorder treatment since 2015, providing support at various levels of care ranging from Residential, PHP/IOP, and Outpatient. I provide additional perspective and knowledge for my queer clients struggling with eating disorders and body image disturbance, along with additional co-occurring diagnoses.

  • LGBTQ Issues External link

    As a proud member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, I have dedicated my career towards supporting my fellow queer community through issues like eating disorder recovery, body image healing, sexual orientation questioning, gender exploration, "coming out", writing letters for gender affirming care, grief, and life transitions.
