Are you looking for answers to your chronic health problems? Have those problems failed to respond to traditional treatments? Determining your unique food sensitivities may be the missing link you need to improve your quality of life. I use MRT/LEAP gut health protocol to addresses those sensitivities and is effective in the management of autoimmune diseases, IBS, Candida, Crohn's, Fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines, chronic fatigue, and other inflammatory diseases. Treatable symptoms include acne, eczema, joint pain, sinusitis, diarrhea, constipation, brain fog, and unexplained weight loss or gain, among others.

I have specialized in the field of eating disorders for nearly a decade. I work with clients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and OSFED. I see clients as young as 8 years old and adults of all ages. I help assist clients and their families in figuring out the next steps when they receive a diagnosis that can feel confusing and scary. I provide assessments for those who might be concerned either themselves or their loved one may be struggling with an eating disorder. I am able to offer an FBT-informed approach for children and adolescents. Above all else, I provide unwavering compassion and care.

I believe food does so much more than fuel our bodies. Eating brings families together, creates memories, tells stories, and adds to our experiences in life. For many people, food can hold a lot of power and can be a significant source of fear, stress, and anxiety. I strive to empower my clients to rediscover enjoyment in eating by helping them improve their relationship with food and their body.

I specialize in eating disorder, disordered eating and intuitive eating.
Do you feel trapped thinking about food, calories, or your body all day long? Recovery can feel impossible when binge eating. Many of the people I work with have spent years trying to “fix” their eating through dieting, restriction, clean eating, over-exercising, or strict food rules. This only leads them to feeling more out of control around food over time. They often come to my practice feeling ashamed, defeated, and afraid that recovery is impossible. I work with clients struggling with binge eating disorder, emotional eating, chronic dieting, food guilt, and the binge-restrict cycle, or feel disconnected from their body.

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.
