Nutrition Counseling and Consulting

Treatment Philosophy
I am an anti-diet registered dietitian and practice I practice from a mental health and trauma-informed lens. I utilize a Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy, and emphasize that all foods fit with the core principles of intuitive eating, when appropriate, to help my clients remove guilt and shame from their eating and bodily experiences. I employ curiosity within myself to provide the most compassionate and inclusive care I can for adolescents, adults, families, people, of all sizes, abilities, gender identities, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, and religions.
