Therapists

Are you sick and tired of struggling with food/body image/diet/exercise/etc all the time? When you are "in it" your anxiety and/or depression gets worse. Sometimes you wonder if it's the "food stuff" that increases the anxiety/depression or vice versa? I know exactly how you are feeling: uncomfortable in your own skin, fantasize of a different body, unworthy, disgusting etc. You do not have to live this any more, and I look forward to getting you there so you can focus on what actually matters.

I'm a licensed therapist and certified intuitive eating coach and able to work with both types of clients in my separate practices. If you're unsure what would work best for you, we can figure this out together. I am all about real life skills, tools and strategies for myself and you. I will give a mix of logistical skills as well as a psychological insight. I want you to get better and therefore I know you will not need to see me forever (unless you want to). If you are ready and willing to do the work, then you'll be on your way. My goal for you is to leave therapy knowing how to do it on your own and feeling confident to push through, because you know you got this. I am direct and utilize the following modalities: solution focused, CBT and Client centered.

I truly believe that people can change. In order for change to happen there has to be a desire and willingness. There can be several factors at play with developing eating disorders and disordered eating: unhealthy learned behaviors, societal norms, perfectionism, trauma, social media and our environment and DIET CULTURE (to name a few). You have the power to unlearn these unhealthy coping skills or bad habits. I know you can change because I've seen in with my clients and myself. Besides therapy (helping people) being a passion, so is dancing. I LOVE to move my body and dance. I don't discriminate against anyone. I support "Health at Every Size", "Intuitive Eating", "All Foods Fit" and "Body Neutrality" movements. If you want to learn more about how I can help you, shoot me a message.

Three Birds Counseling & Clinical Supervision provides Fat Positive, Queer Affirming, Faith Affirming and Trauma-Informed therapy and Clinical Supervision in English and Spanish. All providers specialize in eating disorders and body image concerns, are trained in a trauma protocol (i.e., EMDR, Brainspotting, TFCBT, IFS, DBT, DCT), and operate from a Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating approach. We provide hardship evaluations in English and Spanish for loved ones of individuals facing deportation or seeking asylum and gestational carrier/donor candidate evaluations and consultation. We also help those walking the scary and painful path of infertility and pregnancy loss, and the exhausting experience of anxiety and trauma, both of which often overlap body and food concerns.

Navigating parenthood can be an extremely difficult in many areas, but navigating a healthy relationship with food and body in yourself and your children often proves to be overwhelming in our culture. My role would be to support you as a parent in finding food and body freedom from rules, restriction, and harm associated with disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image issues. I primarily utilize a systems approach and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in helping those in individual, parenting, and group sessions.

I utilize a strengths-based, eating disorder and Health at Every Size informed approach to therapy and parent coaching. I am certified to lead the Confident Body Confident Child program, which is evidence-based to help parents guide their child in developing a healthy relationship with food without negatively affecting their child's body image. I am also a certified trainer and leader of The Body Project, which helps teenage girls challenge the "appearance ideal" by developing cognitive dissonance between societal ideals of beauty and the girl's own values. I use these trainings and my experience working in the eating disorder field to help support parents who are trying to raise their children to be body confident and have a healthy, flexible relationship to food.

We work with adolescents and adults with eating disorders, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, as well as those struggling with life transitions such as going to college, etc. We help with building insight and finding tools to cope with underlying issues and current stressors.
