For Clinicians & Health Providers

People often come to me when they’re stuck on a case and not sure where to go next. Working with disordered eating concerns is often long term work and it’s common to get stuck. I can help conceptualize a case and brainstorm ideas for where to go next. Working with me is a chance to build your counseling skills and have a place to ask tough questions. 

The hope is that you’ll build your confidence and skill when working with your own clients with disordered eating and body image concerns.

You’ll have more awareness of your own body’s cues and needs. You’ll get to learn all the different tools and strategies that I use when working with clients. And boy to I have tools – from exercise balls to weighted blankets and cozy caterpillars –  learn how to use these tools with clients to support their bodies.

I am also happy to share resources including books, articles, guidelines, etc that may be helpful for your learning.

Working with me can also be fun! I bring a balance of playfulness to our work together.

Overall I take a non-diet, weight-inclusive, and trauma-informed approach. If you’re reading this, chances are you take similar approaches. Working from a non-diet lens can be tough when the rest of society is swimming in diet culture! I can help support you to stay aligned in your values when working with clients.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I can also help conceptualize a case through the lens of the autonomic nervous system and polyvagal theory. 

I offer my over 13 years of experience as a dietitian as well as my training in different approaches including:

• Intuitive Eating
• Mindfulness and Mindful Eating
• Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders
• Somatic Experiencing
• Self-compassion
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Yoga 

Personally, I’ve logged hundreds of hours of supervision and professional development and I continue refining my own skills as a clinician. 

I know first hand how tough it can be to work in the area of disordered eating as a provider if you’re also struggling yourself. You may be struggling with your own internalized beliefs around food and body image. Perhaps you rationally believe in a non-diet approach, however you may still have feelings of guilt and worry over eating certain foods. Many people come to me with a conflict of values – many people believe in the concept of body acceptance, yet have a conflict in practicing this for themselves. 

If you relate to this, you are not alone! I work with many clients who are health care providers and clinicians because we all know how pervasive diet culture is. Consider reaching out to me as a client – I’d love to work with you.

If you reach out to me as an SE student, I’d be happy to offer personal SE sessions to support you through food and body concerns at the beginner level.

Fees are $150 for a 50 minute consultation. Invest in a package of 4 sessions with me for $560.

Personal SE Sessions with me are $130 for a 50 minute session. I am approved to work with SE students at the Beginner Level. 

Unfortunately professional consultations with me are not covered by health insurance plans. Health benefits can cover my nutrition services if you work with me as a client or when receiving personal SE sessions.
