ABOUT ME

My nutrition counseling approach is rooted in relational healing. If you’re already thinking, what the heck is that? I’ll back up. I believe the most important parts of this work are the relationship that we build together and the relationship that you re-build with yourself. Many of my clients have lost trust in themselves and their bodies. Have you ever felt like your body was public enemy number one? Disconnecting from our bodies is often a brilliant survival strategy (and mostly unconscious.) Dieting, binge eating, emotional eating, bulimia, and anorexia help manage, numb, or distract from uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, or sensations inside us. I believe no behavior is maladaptive and all behaviors make sense.

My clients describe me as gentle, patient, empathetic, and non-judgmental. My work is guided by compassion and curiosity. I will look at your behaviors as clues to what is happening in your internal world. I use a combination of top-down (focused on your brain and thoughts) and bottom-up (oriented toward your body sensations and emotions) therapeutic modalities for treating eating and body image concerns.
