Professional Individual Mentoring & Group Supervision
Increase your confidence as a clinician, tackle “imposter syndrome,” prevent burn out, isolation and reignite your passion for eating disorders with supervision.
Professional supervision provides a space for much needed emotional support, because our work is challenging.
- $My intention is to create a space where you feel supported, heard, and compassionately invited into growth.
- $Our space will provide the opportunity for case consultation, deep reflection on your own inner experiences in your work, and the continued development of your skills as a relational, compassionate clinician.
- $Think of supervision as therapy for your clinical practice.
Does this sound like you?
- $You are new to eating disorders and need some guidance to grow your skills.
- $Need help with client retention to continue to grow and maintain your private practice.
- $Having a hard time with boundaries when it comes to your time, schedules, caseload and more.
- $Not sure how to confront weight stigma, unpack fatphobia/internalized anti-fat bias in both yourself and with your clients.
- $You’re not sure how to become a ‘trauma informed’ dietitian especially for those of us who hold multiple privileged identities.
- $Need help unlearning traditional dietetic teachings of education-based, action-oriented, strictly clinical care (i.e. Expert Mode) to a more collaboration approach with the use of MI (motivational interview skills)
- $Not sure how to talk to clients about body image (maybe your own body image gets triggered?)
- $How to prevent burn out when working with eating disorders
- $Need guidance on how to shift from a weight- centric paradigm to a more weight inclusive practice?
- $Perhaps you’d like to go deeper into your own healing with food and body.
If you are practicing from a weight-centric (weight-loss) perspective, and it feels like your clients aren’t getting results, or they fall off your schedule, or you are starting to feel burn out, then chances are, you might be ready to ditch the old model.
There has to be a better way, right?
You will feel more confident in “doing no harm” with regard to weight stigma, anti-fat bias and other blind spots that may present themselves in this work. (we are never done doing this work btw, you get to be human and we are all learning and unlearning together!) My work with you is to provide a collaborative and compassionate space where you feel deeply seen and heard without judgement.
You have a unique story that deserves to be held with compassion and curiosity. This is healing work, so there is no cookie cutter formula, you get to show up in all your messy human-ness! I draw upon my own lived experience as someone who recovered from chronic dieting over 20 years ago.
Supervision is not traditionally what dietitians are used to doing, but this is an investment in your practice and career that will serve you and your client’s wellbeing.
Are you ready to feel a renewed sense of joy, freedom, and fulfillment with this work?

Hello! Let Me Introduce Myself...
I’m a nutrition therapist/dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, and body trust provider. I specialize in weight-inclusive care, intuitive eating, body image healing, mindfulness, self-compassion and healing from disordered eating, and eating disorders.
Since 2005, I’ve helped hundreds of folks break free from the dieting cycle and create a sustainable and peaceful relationship with food and their bodies.
Healing from food and body image issues takes time, patience and support. As someone who has recovered from chronic dieting myself, I get it!
I am passionate about supporting colleagues (both dietitians and therapists) to develop and strengthen their own wisdom, knowledge and skills.
The work we do as healers is ongoing and we never “arrive” at some place of completion. Like you, I am always learning and unlearning, growing and evolving along this path. I am personally and professionally committed to ongoing supervision and training.
Our work together is informed by social justice movements, the Health at Every Size paradigm, and Body Trust and Intuitive Eating frameworks.
Other modalities include: harm reduction, developmental theory of embodiment, shame resilience theory, motivational interviewing, self-compassion theory and mindfulness-based approaches.
My other passion is plant-medicine and I am a current graduate student at CIIS for certification in Psychedelic Assissted Therapy and Research.
