NourishMental Health New Mexico, LLC

Have you been stuck in a restrict-binge cycle, yo-yo dieting, or feel like your relationship with food and your body is driven by fear? If you're ready to break this cycle, I'm here to help you make peace with food and move toward body acceptance. I am a queer-identified provider focused on supporting folks who struggle with disordered eating/eating disorders, difficult body image, trauma, depression, and/or sexual or gender identity. I am Intuitive Eating-certified, Health at Every Size (HAES)-aligned, and committed to fat liberation. In addition to individual counseling, I offer two counseling groups: Teen Group (age 14-18) and Genderqueer Group (for trans/nonbinary/questioning adults age 18+). I believe that all people are deserving of compassion and unconditional acceptance. My goal as your counselor is to create a space where you can practice vulnerability and radical self-acceptance without fear of judgement. EQUITY STATEMENT It's important to me that I acknowledge the privilege I receive as a white, cisgender, able-bodied, and straight-size person. The same systems that grant me these unearned privileges inherently result in inequity and injustice, limiting access to a satisfying life with opportunity for self-actualization. I'm committed to doing my part to help dismantle these systems and increase access to care by offering group therapy services on a "pay-what-you-can" fee scale. Group members may select their weekly group fee anywhere between $0-$35, depending on their own financial ability. Group members who choose to pay full price help me to offer free services to those who need it and therefore increase my capacity to support clients who are economically disenfranchised. WHO AM I OUTSIDE OF THE THERAPY SPACE? In my free time you can catch me going for a run or a hike with my dog, whipping up something tasty in the kitchen, cuddled up with a book (and my cats), belting along to Taylor Swift songs, playing board games, or knitting up a storm. I also love to meet new people and to hear their stories -- I look forward to hearing yours!
