Nutrition Counseling

Practice Self-Care, Not Self-Control

You deserve a life where food brings nourishment and joy—not stress, guilt, or shame. Imagine trusting your body, enjoying meals without second-guessing, and building habits that reflect your unique needs and most authentic personal values.

My Approach

A Different Kind of Dietitian Experience

Most people think working with a dietitian means restrictive meal plans or being told what you can and can’t eat. That is not my style.

As a weight-neutral dietitian specializing in women’s health and family nutrition, I provide compassionate, judgment-free guidance that helps you feel at home in your body, confident in your food choices, and empowered in the way you feed your family.

Rooted in intuitive eating and Health at Every Size®* principles, we’ll create a plan that honors your needs, supports your health, and fosters a positive relationship with food—for you and for the next generation.

Food is deeply personal. Your nutrition care should be too.

Why Work With Me?

  • Compassionate Support: You’ll find a safe, welcoming online space where your needs and feelings are respected.
  • Personalized Care: Every session is tailored to you—your life, your goals, and what matters most to you.
  • A Holistic Approach: Food is only one piece of the puzzle. We’ll also explore sleep, stress, movement, and other aspects of self-care.
  • Family-Focused Guidance: Get expert advice on feeding your kids in a way that feels easy, nourishing, and aligned with your values.
  • Tools, Not Rules: Instead of rigid meal plans, I’ll guide you in discovering how to eat in a way that’s satisfying, sustainable, and true to your body’s needs.

This Is For You If:

  • You’re tired of all-or-nothing diets and want a sustainable approach to health.
  • You want to feel confident in the food choices you make for yourself and your family.
  • You’re navigating a specific life stage—like pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting—and want personalized nutrition guidance.
  • You want to raise kids who have a healthy, positive relationship with food.
  • You’d like to simplify mealtimes while ensuring your family is well-nourished.

Imagine This...

You sit down for a meal and feel calm—not overwhelmed by conflicting advice or food guilt.

You make nourishing choices without feeling like you’re “on” or “off” a diet.

You confidently feed your kids, knowing you’re setting them up for a lifetime of positive food experiences.

You approach your health with respect and trust, knowing you’re doing what’s best for your body and your family.

How It Works

We’ll start with a free 15-minute call to talk about your goals and see if we’re a good fit. This is your opportunity to ask questions and learn more about my approach.

In our first session, we’ll dive deep into your food and nutrition history, challenges, and goals. Together, we’ll create a roadmap for moving forward—one that feels realistic and empowering.

Through follow-up sessions, we’ll refine your plan, celebrate your wins, and troubleshoot any challenges. My role is to guide you, cheer you on, and help you feel confident in your choices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Intuitive Eating is a compassionate, evidence-based approach to nutrition that helps you reconnect with your body’s natural signals for hunger, fullness, and satisfaction. It’s about letting go of restrictive dieting and instead focusing on nourishing your body, honoring your health, and finding joy in food. Intuitive Eating is rooted in principles like rejecting diet culture, respecting your body, and practicing gentle nutrition—all with the goal of improving your relationship with food and yourself.

Weight loss is not the focus of my approach to nutrition care. Instead, we’ll work together to support your health and well-being in sustainable, meaningful ways—regardless of how your weight changes. My goal is to help you feel good in your body and improve your overall health. While weight changes may occur, our focus will be on building sustainable habits and a positive relationship with food.

Absolutely. While I specialize in women’s health and motherhood, I welcome clients of all gender identities and life stages.

Currently, I’m out of network with all insurance providers. However, I can provide a Superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance provider in advance to confirm whether they cover nutrition counseling and accept Superbills for out-of-network providers.

The number of sessions depends on your goals and unique circumstances. Most clients get value from 3-6 months of regular meetings, while others benefit from ongoing support. During our first appointment, we can discuss a plan that works for your needs and schedule.
