My hope is to help you find more ease with food.

​

I am located outside of Boston and have a virtual private practice. I'm licensed in many different states, so please inquire about working together regardless of where you are.

 

A weight-inclusive approach may be a refreshing way to honor your health and past experience. I practice with a Health at Every Size approach and am committed to size inclusivity. With a background in intuitive eating, my practice has grown to emphasize body liberation. Combining lived experience with evidence based science will allow us to address health concerns without dieting, restriction or restraint. 

​

As we work together, we will hold space for worries around weight and body image struggles, and we'll explore the impact our dieting culture has had on you.  We'll identify behaviors to help you feel nourished, satisfied and supported, moving away from a restrictive and punitive perspective. If you're curious to learn more about this non-diet philosophy, I've written about my humble evolution as a dietitian here.

In our initial sessions, we will explore your relationship with food. We'll discuss eating habits and exercise patterns, and your history with food rules, dieting and disordered eating. We'll get curious about how you define health, and we'll work on identifying what's causing you to feel stressed around food.  We will begin to explore food rules and beliefs, with the goal of working to let go of what's no longer serving you.

​

In follow-up sessions, we'll explore the external forces that have influenced your relationship with food and body. Every session is individualized - we may explore your pattern of eating to assure for adequate intake, less chaos, more pleasure. We can discuss weight concerns and your experience with stigma and bias. We'll hold space for anxieties and worries you have, whether it's about health, interactions with others, or a more flexible, pleasurable way of eating. Throughout the process, we will use your knowledge and understanding of past experiences to help you nurture your mind and body. Together, we'll assess the amount of support and counseling structure that will benefit you the most. 

​

Most importantly, your story will be met with compassion, empathy,

and entirely without judgment.
