TOPICS:

  • Diagnosis, treatment options, resources for clients and advocacy landscape
  • Attachment-based, feminist lens, de-pathologizing eating disorder behaviors and understanding the protective / functional roles of eating disorders and how to help clients shape their own values
  • Working with BIPOC folks with eating disorders



  • Themes of OCD, how OCD might present in sessions
  • How to create hierarchies and understand the exposure response prevention model
  • I offer a unique understanding of internal experience from lived experience
  • Working with clients with marginalized identities
  • Neurodiversity Affirming, systems lens to working with clients with OCD including critiques of the ERP model*
  • How to integrate response prevention in daily lives leading with values of client

*Autistic nervous systems don't habituate the same to sensory input (considerations of interoceptive and cognitive fears as well), exploring neurodivergent nervous system patterns and what feels helpful for clients





  • What is a neurodiversity affirming lens, how to apply this framework to your practice
  • Working with self-identifying neurodivergent clients
  • Creating a neuro-inclusive practice (thinking about paperwork, policies, informed consent; going beyond learning what neurodiversity looks like to understanding why it is important)
  • Exploring clinical utility of diagnoses collaboratively through an intersectional lens



  • Think about clients' presenting problems through a systems lens
  • Explore power dynamic that is always at play -- whether we address it intentionally or not
  • Offer perspective (not a monolth) from a BIPOC, neurodivergent human to help you consider some experiences without relying on clients to educate you
