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.
