🌿 Disordered eating isn’t your fault
It’s a complex survival strategy shaped by trauma, fatphobia, transphobia, ableism, and other systemic oppressions. If you’re queer, fat, neurodivergent, trans, or gender-nonconforming, you may have learned to disconnect from your body to stay safe in a world that demands conformity. These behaviors aren’t flaws — they’re ways your body and mind have coped.
Care That Honors Your Whole Self
Many traditional eating disorder treatments center thin, cisgender, white, neurotypical experiences — leaving many clients feeling unseen or even harmed. Fat clients are often told to lose weight. Trans and nonbinary clients are asked to conform to gender norms. Neurodivergent clients are misunderstood or pathologized.
The care I provide is different.
I’m a queer, nonbinary, fat, and neurodivergent therapist offering eating disorder therapy rooted in radical acceptance, lived experience, and anti-oppressive care. I hold a certification as a Be Body Positive Group Facilitator and practice through a Health at Every Size (HAES)-aligned lens. You never have to justify your body, your gender, or your brain here.
