Eating Disorders, Youth, Adults, and Families
Monday - Friday
By Appointment
LMFT
Many of us experience mental health challenges at some point in our lives. Perhaps you’re struggling with your relationship with food and your body, caught in a cycle of restricting, binging, and purging. Maybe you’re feeling consumed by anxiety, or you’re faced with navigating tough family relationships. Sometimes, we can cope well enough with our existing support systems and our own internal tools. Other times, we need support in order to heal. I believe we each have the innate capacity for resilience, and that given the opportunity, we can access that resilience. My goal is to help you harness your own strength in the process of healing from whatever you might be struggling with.
I work with youth, adults, and families struggling with a range of challenges. I specialize in treating folks with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and relationship issues. From working in eating disorder treatment, I have extensive experience working with clients struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and general disordered eating. As a queer woman, I am particularly passionate about working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I work primarily from a psychodynamic perspective, while also integrating a humanistic approach.
I received my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies in 2021 and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).
Prior to Bay Psychology Group, I worked for A Better Way, a nonprofit community-based organization, providing therapy to youth and families, many of whom were involved in the child welfare and/or foster care systems and struggling with a variety of emotional challenges. Previously, I gained experience at Cielo House, a residential treatment center for clients struggling with eating disorders. While there, I provided individual therapy, family therapy, and group therapy to treat adults with eating disorders, as well as co-occurring diagnoses of depression and/or anxiety.
As a staff member of BPG, I accept clients with certain insurance including SHIP, Anthem, and Medicare. If you think we could work well together, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
