nutrition counseling for

eating & feeding

through the lifespan.

Virtually in Washington

You spend every day thinking it's

you vs. food.

From tracking calories and restricting certain foods to preparing three different meals so you can satisfy everyone at your dinner table. 

And you hate to admit it, but you’re exhausted. 

You spend more time wondering “what’s for dinner” than you actually do eating it. And whether you’re cooking for one or your family of ten, you can’t shake the feeling that you’re being too restrictive but you don’t know how to get back on track.

is the way it has to be.

You’re tired of feeling like the way things are

children, teens, and adults with

eating disorders, disordered eating, and picky eating.

Nutrition Counseling for

Disordered Eating

Restrictive eating, purging, binge eating, & body dysmorphia.

You have a lot of rules when it comes to food. You spend a good part of your day stressing out about what you can eat and when. Maybe you're a parent worried that your teen seems distant and not themself. They have started to pick at their food and comment about disliking their body. Whether you or your child are living with disordered eating habits or an active eating disorder, we’ll introduce more autonomy, flexibility, and balance into your relationship with food.

Nutrition Counseling for

Feeding Your Child

Picky eating, food battles, & concerns about growth & weight.

You knew there wasn’t a manual when it came time to raise your kids, but why didn’t they tell you about how hard it would be to feed them?! You don’t want to force your child to eat, but you know that if you don’t prepare exactly what they’re craving, they just won’t eat at all. You want a way to satisfy your entire family at dinner — including your picky eater.

Or maybe you are worried that your child seems to never get full. They are always asking for food and you have found candy wrappers under their bed.

My expertise is centered around eating disorder treatment and pediatric nutrition. In our work together, you’ll regain a sense of trust in feeding your body and creating balanced eating habits, no matter where you’re starting from.

Ready to work together?

Here’s the next steps!

If you’re looking for support with…

  • Eliminating food restriction + diets
  • Minimizing picky eating behavior
  • Releasing control + creating more balance
  • Listening to your body’s hunger cues

…you’re in the right place!

You’ll book your free 30-minute consultation where we’ll chat about the concerns you have about your (or your child's) eating habits. I’ll also share more about my philosophy and how I approach treatment to determine if we’re the right fit. 

step one: free consultation

01  /  03

he Assessment is a 90-minute appointment where we'll talk about your (or your child's) medical history, growth and feeding history, and any previous treatment experiences.

If you are seeking treatment for your teen (13 years old & older), the 90 minutes will be divided between you (45 minutes) & your teen (45 minutes).

If you are seeking care for your child (12 years & younger), the assessment will be with you (the parent or guardian).

step two: schedule assessment

02  /  03

After the initial assessment, you/your child will begin your regularly scheduled appointments. Teens will have their own individual time with parent(s) attending near the end of the session or every couple of sessions. Sessions are 60 minutes and are typically scheduled for a consistent day and time each week.

step three: attend first session

03  /  03

You've got questions.

Here's the answers!

All sessions are conducted through Telehealth. For teens (ages 13 years & older), they will have individual time separate from parent(s). For children (12 years & younger), sessions will be conducted with parent(s).

How do you work with your clients? 

back to the questions

Yes! Recovering from an eating disorder is absolutely possible! Recovery happens when you’re supported and in relationship with others: with providers on your care team, with your loved ones, and with yourself. Recovery is a process that requires time, energy, and willingness to be vulnerable.

Is it possible for me to fully recover from an eating disorder? 

back to the questions

For infants, toddlers, & school-age children (ages 6-12), I primarily meet with parents/caregivers. Children can be present for part of the visits but it is important to have childcare or child-free time for parents/caregivers to be fully present during our time together. As we work together, we will determine if and when it is appropriate to have your child join in the sessions.

For adolescents, I primarily meet with your teen, checking in with & updating parents/caregivers either at the end of the visit or every couple of visits. 

WILL YOU MEET WITH MY CHILD DURING VISITS? 

back to the questions

Yes! I’m in-network with Premera Blue Cross, Regence Blue Shield, and First Choice Health. I am considered an out-of-network provider for all other health insurance plans.

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE? 

back to the questions

Clients may cancel via phone call, text, or email until the day of the scheduled appointment. If there is no notification of cancelling the appointment, there will be a charge of $145 for the no-show fee.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
