Nutrition Therapy

How do you envision your new story with food?

 

If you’re like my clients, you are hard-working, intelligent, and passionate, and yet you find that food is taking up way too much space in your life. You’re in a constant tug of war with yourself. You’re thinking about food all the time but not deriving much pleasure from it. There are rules about what you “can” and “can’t” eat, and you feel scared to give yourself true permission to eat what you actually want.

Friends in Park

You deserve to experience peace with food. You deserve to have trust in your body. And you deserve to truly nourish yourself and allow food to be an enjoyable component of your life. I’d love to help you get there.

We start this process by reviewing your history and developing an understanding of the factors that have shaped your current struggles. We then set manageable goals together that help you move closer to feeling better with food. We’ll certainly speak about your actual food intake to make sure you’re meeting your needs, but we’ll also dig deeper into the stories you’re holding onto and find ways to challenge your current narrative.

I recommend starting with weekly sessions so we can form a strong base for this work together. I will also collaborate with other members of your team - your therapist, psychiatrist, primary care doctor, etc. - to provide you with the best support.

  • As a non-diet Registered Dietitian utilizing a weight-inclusive approach and Intuitive Eating principles, I am passionate about helping people to rediscover their self-trust and heal their relationship with food and their body. You often see terms such as “weight-inclusive” or “anti-diet” or “non-diet” get thrown around in this field. But what do they mean? How are they integrated into my nutrition practice?

    Weight-inclusive approaches aim to address weight bias and stigma as well as being inclusive to human diversity regarding body size, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identification, and social status. The most important thing in my practice is thoughtful care and respecting all bodies. The number on the scale or what you see in the mirror is not representative of health. Weight inclusivity is a pillar of my work.

    Non-diet can be a very confusing concept when it relates to a dietitian. How can a dietitian be against the very thing in the name of our profession? Diet culture is centered around categorizing food, conveying to us what foods are “good” and what foods are “bad.” The non-diet approach neutralizes foods, taking away those deceiving labels. I seek to encourage variety and really figure out what you enjoy eating as well as find peace in enjoying those foods.

    Intuitive Eating is a framework based on 10 principles that aim to challenge diet culture and reconnect individuals with their internal wisdom. When engaging in disordered eating patterns, you are no longer listening to your internal cues of hunger and fullness. They have been suppressed and diminished through these behaviors. Using Intuitive Eating practices, we can work together to gradually get those internal cues back on track to help you listen to your body’s needs.

    All of these principles and frameworks encompass what I believe to be a well-rounded approach to healing your relationship with food.
