I provide outpatient Telehealth nutrition counseling to adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders or disordered eating. During the first phase of nutrition care, I work with clients (and/or their caregivers) to create an individually-tailored meal plan and eating pattern that meets their nutritional needs and promotes physiological stabilization. Once clients are more stable in their recovery, we work on adding variety and flexibility to their food choices, ensuring they are comfortable eating in most or all environments and situations. Eventually, we explore the principles of Intuitive Eating, and discuss how to develop and maintain sustainable, health-promoting lifestyle behaviors that fully align with eating disorder recovery.
Throughout my career, I have worked in all levels of eating disorder treatment (residential, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient), providing nutrition counseling to adolescents and adults of all ages. In my private practice, I utilize a combination of treatment modalities (DBT, exposure and response prevention, meal support) in addition to medical nutrition therapy for eating disorders. I am comfortable providing family based treatment (FBT) as part of an interdisciplinary treatment team. I'm also comfortable working with clients who have co-occurring mental health conditions. I am passionate about helping people to heal their relationships with food and their bodies!
