Now, I help people break free from eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors.

Too many of us waste our, time, energy and money trying to measure up to some impossible “ideal.” We’re told that we should always be striving to shrink our bodies or keep them small.

Unfortunately, most of us are taught to be super vigilant about what we eat. That sometimes leads to eating disorders (roughly 1 in 10 American women will struggle with one in their lifetime), and almost always screws up our relationship with food and our bodies.

I’ve been through the wringer with food and body image — as pretty much all of us have — and now it’s my mission to help everyone build a good relationship with food and their bodies.

That’s why I take an anti-diet, body approach to nutrition, eating disorder recovery, and life in general.

I know — from a combination of professional expertise and personal experience — that dieting and restriction just leads to a cycle of intense cravings, bingeing (or out-of-control feelings around food), and shame. (And sometimes, it leads to full-blown eating disorders.)

My goal is to help you understand that your body deserves respect and nourishment no matter what size it is. I take a collaborative approach to nutrition counseling, which means I meet you wherever you’re at and we work together on moving towards a healthier relationship with food, one step at a time. Over time, I guide you towards body acceptance and recovery from your eating disorder or disordered eating behaviors.

Past clients have told me that they appreciate my patient, non-judgmental, friendly counseling style. (And I was very flattered to hear it, because compassion is always what I’m going for.)

I truly believe that intuitive eating is for everyone.

It’s the best way to find true, unconditional recovery and food peace.

Struggling with disordered eating or an eating disorder is nothing to be ashamed of. But you deserve better, and it is possible to stop obsessing over food.
