I specialize in helping clients break free from the mental, emotional, and physical toll of chronic dieting, various levels of disordered eating, and body image concerns – as well as nutrition and body image healing work in eating disorder recovery. Ultimately, I help clients nurture a caring and compassionate relationship with food and their bodies through a non-weight focused, non-diet approach.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults at my office in Mill Valley, California. In my client sessions, I create a safe, judgment-free, therapeutic space where you can come, process, and learn how to kindly be with (and in) your body. And where you can learn how to cultivate an enjoyable, healthy, and nourishing relationship with food. In our work together, you’ll gain an understanding of how to truly listen, connect, and care for your body and yourself.

Hi! I‘m Cristal, a Registered Dietitian and Yoga Teacher. My specialty is helping clients heal their relationships with food, movement, and body. I practice with a compassionate, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, non-diet approach. I work with clients to reconnect to their inner wisdom, put down the shame, & cultivate self-compassion. I do my best to provide a safe, compassionate, inclusive space for my clients to feel heard, seen, & valued. It’s my mission to help you find liberation from food, movement, and body image struggles so that you can apply that energy toward creating the life you want!

I offer an intuitive eating approach to health and well being. I offer support and dual sessions with parents and kids.

I work with folks from a relational, psychodynamic, trauma and social justice informed approach. The healing process is much like what happens in regular therapy, however, we are focused specifically on the relationship to food and the body. I join parents in exploring their own relationship to food and their bodies, in order for their healing to bring about a peaceful and trust-based approach to food with their children. My framework is based in HAES(R), intuitive eating, and Ellyn Satter's eating competence model, all of which are backed by significant research. My heart is to help adults find freedom so the younger generation can, in turn, be free.

We use a blend of Family Based Therapy and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy as well as weight-neutral and intuitive eating principles to help people struggling with food and body issues and support their loved ones.

When working with parents, I focus on the Division of Responsibility, all food fit, weight-neutral, etc.
