I’m a Registered Dietitian who does not believe in diets. I do believe that it’s equally important for nutrition advice to be both evidenced-based and personalized. I think we should enjoy food and celebrate its role in our traditions and cultures. And I know that food has incredible power to help us live healthier lives, prevent or manage chronic disease, and achieve big health and wellness goals.

I specialize in eating disorder recovery, intuitive eating, and body image, helping clients rebuild trust in food and movement, quiet the noise of rules, and find balance rooted in values—not shame or fear.
If you feel stuck in a cycle of food rules, guilt, or constant stress about eating, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice and drained by the pressure to eat perfectly or lose weight “for health.” Beneath that struggle is often anxiety, perfectionism, and a longing for peace. You may want to eat intuitively, feel at home in your body, and genuinely enjoy food again—but feel unsure how to get there. My role is to help you find clarity, flexibility, and a sustainable way of nourishing yourself that supports both your physical health and your mental well-being.

I help my clients achieve healthy eating by developing mindfulness and intuitive eating skills, while cultivating respect for their bodies through meaningful exercise.
Navigating the overwhelming world of food, weight, and metabolism info can feel like an uphill battle. With endless blogs, posts, and conflicting advice, it’s easy to get lost in ‘shoulds’ and ‘should nots.’ You might follow rigid food rules, label foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ and feel guilt or anxiety when you think you’ve eaten ‘too much.’ This mental chatter is exhausting and makes lasting change harder. You're not alone, I help people cut through the noise and build a healthier relationship with food, body, and self through personalized, evidence-based care rooted in sustainability and compassion.

Ideal clients are individuals who spend a significant amount of time worrying about their body, weight, and food choices, often feeling trapped in a cycle of restriction, guilt, and frustration. They may believe they'll never achieve their health goals. These clients are ready to explore the diet cycle, challenge misinformation, and develop mindfulness around their thoughts on food, weight, and health. This process helps quiet the constant “food noise” in their minds and fosters greater self-compassion, freedom, and peace with food.

Intuitive Eating Nutritionists and Dietitians

What is intuitive eating?

Intuitive eating is a nutritional philosophy that emphasizes the use of physical hunger cues and satisfaction to guide eating, while rejecting common principles of weight loss, dieting, and restriction. Intuitive eating was popularized by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, two Registered Dietitians specializing in eating disorders who outlined 10 principles of intuitive eating that continue to shape the approach today: Reject the Diet Mentality, Honor Your Hunger, Make Peace with Food, Challenge the Food Police, Respect Your Fullness, Discover the Satisfaction Factor, Honor Your Feelings without Using Food, Respect Your Body, Exercise—”Feel the Difference, and Honor Your Health with Gentle Nutrition.”

What does an intuitive eating dietitian do?

An intuitive eating dietitian applies the key principles of intuitive eating to their work with clients, helping them honor their hunger, reduce dietary restriction or "food rules," and improve their body image. Unlike dietitians who prescribe strict dietary changes or meal plans, intuitive eating dietitians often take a more holistic approach with clients. They may discuss the physical aspects of intuitive eating with clients, such as helping clients identify when they experience hunger, but they may also discuss topics such as mindfulness, exercise, body acceptance, and mental health.

Who should see an intuitive eating dietitian?

Anyone can see an intuitive eating dietitian; indeed, many people may be drawn to the idea of intuitive eating for its departure from the strict rules of diet culture and its emphasis on weight inclusivity and body acceptance. In particular, individuals who have a long history of chronic dieting may be particularly interested in seeing an intuitive eating dietitian, who will not emphasize diets as many other nutrition professionals may. In addition, individuals recovering from disordered eating or food restriction may also benefit from seeing an intuitive eating dietitian, who can help them become less reliant on rigid food rules and develop a more positive relationship with food and their body.

How do I find a good intuitive eating dietitian?

When you visit a dietitian or nutritionist's profile, you can get a better idea if they are the right fit for you by reading about their approach to nutrition. Often, dietitians who specialize in intuitive eating will outline this nutrition philosophy on their Psychology Today profile or on their website; if not, it can be helpful to look for a dietitian who emphasizes similar principles in their nutrition practice, such as taking a non-diet approach or emphasizing body acceptance or Health At Every Size (HAES) principles. When looking for potential dietitians, it can also be important to look at things like session cost, accepted insurance plans, and their location or telehealth options. When you find a professional who may be a good fit, you can reach out to speak with them and ask about their expertise within a specific area, such as eating disorders or mindful eating.
