Whether you’re recovering from an eating disorder or trying to break the cycle of chronic dieting, I promote a food fluid, weight neutral framework. This means no longer classifying foods as good or bad or, viewing your body as the enemy. I encourage my clients to adopt an all foods fit philosophy, and explore utilizing one’s body as a vehicle for experience, rather than validation. I believe in empowering clients to make decisions that are informed, not fear based. If you are looking for a therapeutic dietitian, you are in the right place. I utilize several therapeutic modalities including IFS, Somatic work, RO-DBT, DBT and CBT.
