Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

I believe that my clients are the experts of their own bodies and I support them in tapping into their body's own wisdom to guide their healing process. I take a therapeutic approach to nutrition counseling, utilizing various modalities such as IFS, ACT, and CBT. My work is trauma-informed and social justice-minded. I prioritize informed consent, client autonomy, and providing education on the systems of oppression at play that influence my clients' relationships with food and their bodies. I strive to provide a safe, compassionate space for clients to be able to talk about their weight concerns and unpack what lies underneath them. My approach to health is individualistic, meaning I don't see health as a moral obligation, and I help clients to understand social determinants of health and to view health from a much wider, holistic lens than the narrow lens our current culture presents "health" as (diet and movement). I work with clients to help them re-define what health means to them and support them along their journey in working toward health promoting behaviors that are within their control. Health at Every Size® Care is important to me because I’ve seen time and time again the harm and trauma that weight bias causes. I’ve seen how harmful yo-yo dieting and weight cycling is to my clients. I believe in body diversity and I am passionate about liberation for bodies of all of shapes, sizes, races, genders, sexual orientations, and ability levels.
