For therapists who want to go deeper.

I believe therapists do their best work when they have space to slow down, think out loud, and feel supported by others who understand the work. This field can be meaningful and energizing, but it can also be isolating, especially in private practice. I offer consultation, professional community, and trainings to help clinicians grow in both their clinical work and their careers. Whether you’re just starting out or more established, you’re welcome.

Solo Practitioner Consultation Group

Biweekly on Fridays from 3-4pm, no charge, closed to new members.

This group is for therapists in private practice who are grounded in social justice and looking for connection and support. I started it in May 2025 to create a space where clinicians could feel less isolated and build meaningful professional relationships. Members bring a range of specialties and approaches, which allows for rich, thoughtful clinical consultation. We also consult on the realities of running a private practice and make space for more personal support when it is needed.

Early Career Eating Disorder Professionals Consultation Group

Biweekly on Wednesdays from 4-5, no charge, open to new members.

This group is for early-career professionals who work primarily with eating disorders and body image concerns. I co-founded this group as a warm, supportive space to connect with others doing similar work, consult on cases, and share resources. The group is weight-inclusive and HAES-aligned, with a multidisciplinary mix of therapists, dietitians, prescribers, and coaches. You can request to join by filling out this form.

Listservs & FB Clinician Groups

In addition to the groups I facilitate, I also I manage several networking and referral communities, including the Private Pay Therapists of Massachusetts and Private Pay Therapists of Maine listservs and the Eating Disorder Professionals of Maine Facebook group.

Training & Consultation Services

  • I provide individual consultation for clinicians seeking support in their work with body image and eating disorders in men. Consultation may include case discussion, diagnostic clarity, treatment planning, and navigating complex clinical dynamics. This is a collaborative space to deepen your understanding and feel more confident in your work.

  • I offer clinically grounded trainings for therapists, dietitians, and organizations looking to better understand body image and eating disorders in men, particularly gay and bisexual men. These sessions are practical, engaging, and designed to translate directly into real-world clinical work. Trainings can be tailored to your team’s needs and level of experience. All trainings are virtual at this time.

  • I’m available for panels, guest lectures, and conversations that bring attention to the often overlooked experiences of men struggling with body image and eating concerns. I aim to offer thoughtful, nuanced perspectives that are both clinically informed and accessible. Topics can be adapted to fit your audience and setting.
