Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

I work with teens (ages 16+) and adults of all ages who are struggling with eating disorders, body image distress, and emotion regulation problems (like suicidal thoughts, self-harm behaviors, and difficulty communicating with others). In my sessions, I combine elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and focus on building a strong, trusting therapy relationship to work toward individual goals. I am passionate about helping people improve their relationship with food and their bodies and to learn more effective ways to manage strong emotions.

My approach to working with folks on changing eating behaviors and body image centers around Health at Every Size® principles. I am completely anti-diet and reject the harmful and oppressive beliefs that promote weight stigma and anti-fat bias. Much of my work focuses on helping people eat regularly, adequately, flexibly, and intuitively, along with incorporating physical movement that is enjoyable and not punishing.

I also believe that it is imperative to acknowledge the impact of systems of oppression, like racism, sexism, anti-fat bias, and ableism, on mental health. I hold a lot of privilege and am committed to ongoing learning and engagement in anti-oppressive practice. One way that I aim to advocate for my clients is by consulting with their other providers and people around them to provide education, to point out potential harm being done, and to collaborate on ways to support clients.
