About Angelina

Supporting people struggling with eating disorders is my life’s work, and it has been my honor to do this in various roles for the last twelve years. In that time, my professional interest and experience have also expanded to include the issues commonly occurring with eating disorders, and commonly occurring in the human experience. My work has been shaped by both scholarship and lived experience, by my communities and the changing societal forces around us, and perhaps most of all by the humans I have accompanied along the path to recovery. The eating disorder field has changed significantly throughout my career (in some very hopeful ways), and I have been and remain dedicated to the pursuit of healing from the micro to macro level.

I have worked in the clinical setting with individuals, groups, families since 2021. Before that, I was an eating disorders educator, advocate and preventionist, and peer support leader and organizer. I created eating disorder recovery and body liberation curricula, led many support and educational groups in the community, wrote extensively on eating disorders, body politics, and mental health, and provided ongoing peer support and coaching to far more people than I can count! I have supported eating disorder sufferers and their families using FBT and Maudsley Method principles since 2014. Additional experience that I bring to my role as a clinician is in gender-based violence prevention and advocacy, and nonprofit and grant work focused on serving marginalized students.

I have a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Washington, and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from New York University. I’m an east coaster in origin and at heart, but you’ll find me perpetually falling in love with the natural wonders (both large and small) of the PNW.
