Supervision is hands down the best investment I’ve made, and continue to make, in my professional development. It has strengthened my skillset and my confidence to be the best provider for my clients and created a space where I can be vulnerable, process whatever is coming up for me, and significantly lower my risk for burnout.
While I’ve definitely valued my individual supervision immensely, the value of being in a group and connecting with and learning from peers when we do this work cannot be understated. That experience only gets richer when we come from different professional backgrounds and can offer differing professional perspectives.
I am SO THRILLED to be offering the small group, multidisciplinary Clinical Supervision & Case Consultation Group with my dear friend and colleague . Over the course of 4 months, we are going to dive deep into your toughest cases. We’re going to get curious, ask questions, consider counseling skills, explore helpful resources, and provide feedback on how you might move forward in supporting these clients.
It will be a place for rich discussion, community, and connection.
All the details are available at the link in the bio.
Payment plans available upon request.

Some of my richest professional development experiences as an eating disorder clinician have come from being in community with and learning from providers from disciplines other than my own. Don’t get me wrong, I will always love learning from my dietitian colleagues, but it’s a different experi...

Are you Intuitive Eating curious? If so, this is the space for you!

In this ✨FREE 60-minute masterclass✨ you are going to learn:
✅ What Intuitive Eating is
✅ Common questions & misconceptions
✅ What brings people to this practice
✅ What the 10 guiding principles are
✅ How it can help you heal your relationship to food

I discovered Intuitive Eating about a decade ago and it changed my life both personally and professionally. Learning about Intuitive Eating opened the door to me learning about diet culture and the harm it causes, weight science in a way school *definitely* didn't teach me, weight inclusivity and Health at Every Size (R), eating disorders and disordered eating, and how making weight loss the focus of my life and the focus of the interventions I was offering to my clients was not only NOT helpful, it was actively causing harm.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn how to relate to food and my body differently. For finding and building community in this space. And that this passion gets to be my profession.

Now I support others on their journey to finding more peace, ease, and flexibility around food. And, the Intuitive Eating framework is foundational in so much of that work. Curious if it might help you, too? Join me for this FREE masterclass to find out.

On Monday night I tuned into Oprah’s special — Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution. Not because I wanted to, but because I felt I needed to. I posted my response on .

A question I get asked often when I’m supporting folks to heal their relationship with food is, “Am I being restrictive if I choose to drink diet soda?” (or any other “diet” or healthified version of a food for that matter).

The question is positioned as closed one, where the answer is a simple “yes” or “no.” Except that, the answer isn’t a simple “yes” or “no.” That’s because the food itself is not what makes the decision restrictive or not, it’s the motivation behind the decision.

📣NOW OFFERING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION 📣

I’m so thrilled to share that I am finally offering individual (and soon group) professional consultation services.

Over the last 4.5 years I’ve been so focused on building my private practice that I haven’t been nearly as active as I was previously in the professional education and consultation space. And I’ve missed it! So, I’m thrilled to finally launch and formally announce this new opportunity to work together.

I want to tell you a little story about myself:

When I first became a dietitian 14 years ago I had no idea what I wanted to do professionally, but I did know one thing (or so I thought!), which was that I definitely *did not* want to work in eating disorders. Mostly because I felt so intimidated by it. Let’s face it, most dietetics education doesn’t prepare us at all for working in this space. But what I quickly learned when I started practicing was that, regardless of my area of practice, as a dietitian I was going to be working with eating disorders so best figure it out!

9 years ago I went all in on this area of practice and, after several years of feeling pretty lost professionally, I knew I had found my calling. It feels ironic given where I started, and I’ll be forever grateful to the mentors who helped me find my feet in this area of practice. I’m thrilled to be able to support others in the same way.
