I’m a registered dietitian and am honored to work with clients through the tough stuff of creating a healthy, sustainable relationship with food and their body. I specialize in working with individuals of all genders who are recovering from disordered eating, body image support, food allergies and GI disorders. I really enjoy working with teens, young adults and adults who have spent much of their life on the turbulent cycle of dieting/disordered eating. I believe that we are all impacted at various levels by diet culture, and that our relationships with food and our bodies are deeply personal and layered. I also believe that these relationships can change and that you can experience more joy, more ease, and less guilt around eating.

My private practice is The Wellful and I am based in San Francisco, CA and work virtually with clients throughout California, Massachusetts, New York, and a few other states I'm licensed or credentialed in. I offer nutrition therapy and body image counseling incorporating ACT, DBT, IFS therapeutic modalities through a non-diet, weight-inclusive, intersectional, and affirming lens.

I am a dually licensed LPCC and RD. I take a HAES approach to sessions and will help parents to understand how to speak about food in a neutral, intuitive way. I teach intuitive eating to clients and their parents and will have at times joint sessions with the adolescent and parents if the adolescent is okay with it. I practice a person-centered approach to counseling and will gently push the client while also meeting them where they are at.

As a weight-inclusive, non-diet dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, I am passionate about helping people improve their relationship with food. I am a champion for pleasurable, satisfying food and believe you deserve to eat all types of food, free from shame and guilt. We will help you to nourish flexibly by using an individualized, additive approach as I strongly feel that healthy behaviors are not restrictive. We will learn from reflecting on the impact of rigid food rules and your past experience with food. My goal is to help people reconnect to their bodies through self-compassion, curiosity, and non-judgmental exploration. We can help to build trust in your body, and heal your relationship with food through increased awareness, experience and practice.

Healing your own relationship with food is one of the best ways you can help to protect your family from harmful messaging. Whether you are looking for help for yourself, or for your family, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am licensed in many states throughout the country and work virtually.

I would approach a family with individualized goal setting and also with a weight-inclusive HAES approach to nutrition. I would make sure I am getting the full picture of each families situation, and provide recommendations that are appropriate, realistic, and achievable with each family.

As a nutrition professional, I guide families, adolescents, and adults in discovering a way to feed their families and themselves from a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach. My work is HAES informed and guided by Ellen Satter's DOR, Intuitive and Mindful Eating principles. It is client-centered, curious, and compassionate. It is always my privilege to walk side by side with clients on their journey to greater peace and balance with food, eating, and their bodies.

I utilize a HAES/weight neutral approach. When working w families of young kids I tend to lean on Ellyn Satter's DOR approach to set up good feeding dynamics within the family. I also pull from a family based nutrition therapy approach and discuss how our environment/culture conditions us to buy into diet culture and weight stigma and how can we help ourselves and our kids challenge this and thrive.
