As a therapist with a background in eating disorder treatment and supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, I know that the impact of discrimination and marginalization from society can make it difficult to feel safe in your body. I recognize that engaging in disordered behaviors and patterns to control your body may have offered a false sense of safety and security in feeling congruent with your gender and expression. However, you deserve to be liberated from the empty promises of these patterns. I strive to provide a safe and respectful space that honors these experiences and helps you deconstruct the roots of diet culture, anti-fat bias, and their intersectionality with queerness from a health-at-every size and body neutral perspective. My goal is to help support you as you navigate your way back toward connection and safety in your body.
