Non-Diet Approach Nutritionists and Dietitians in Washington

As a nutrition educator I can help you learn about how food affects your health. As a nutrition counselor, I can help you with motivation and making sustainable changes while supporting your culture, preferences and lifestyle.

With the plethora of pervasive nutrition advice and a culture fixated on health and thinness it makes sense to be overwhelmed, frustrated, and hurt by the task of feeding and caring for ourselves. Messages about “good” versus “bad” foods (and bodies) pervade our psyche from the youngest of ages. We are made to believe that there is a path to the perfect body and diet, and that it is just around the corner if we only continue the exhausting pursuit. The diet culture we all live in steals happiness and makes us become distrustful of our bodies. I firmly believe there is another way, a more sustainable approach to food and health.

Whether you have a diagnosed eating disorder, are in recovery, or simply want to have a better relationship with food, we can work together to hone your body’s innate wisdom and fine-tune your intuitive eating skills. In addition to nutrition therapy, we can reclaim your relationship with joyful movement, and move toward body acceptance and weight neutrality. Everyone deserves a relationship with food that’s nourishing and non-punitive. But to create peace with our body, we first need to undo the harmful internal biases we hold so we can develop a nourishing relationship with food.

We live in a chaotic world full of challenges and deciding what, when and how to eat can be one of them. But it doesn't have to feel like this forever! Whatever your struggle may be, I'd like to help make eating feel less challenging. Using motivational interviewing skills, I focus on understanding the complex and unique struggles each patient is experiencing and helping guide them towards sustainable and manageable solutions to last a lifetime.

Are you thinking about food or your body non-stop? Struggling with fatigue, poor recovery, impaired performance, or a missing period? Do you suspect that you might have disordered eating or an eating disorder?I'm so glad you're here - reaching out for help takes a lot of courage. It is totally possible to live in a world where food and your body don't distract you from what really matters.

My mission and vision is to prevent needless suffering caused by hurtful messaging and misinformation from our culture, family, or health care system that disrupts the connection and/or enjoyment of your body, food, and eating. Shame, guilt, and stigma have no place in healthcare. I am committed to providing trauma informed care and seek to help provide tools and skills to help learn to self regulate and improve tolerance connecting the body and eating. I provide practical, realistic strategies resulting in long-term success. Stop overthinking food, hating your body, emotional eating, or regrets. I'm here to help!

As an anti-diet, weight-inclusive nutritionist, I create a trusting and collaborative space to explore your relationship with food, body, and movement. With so much conflicting nutrition information in the world, often promoting restriction or ignoring what your body is telling you it needs and wants, my goal is to help you rediscover your body's inner wisdom. Diet culture and systems of oppression that tell us who we are and how we should be disconnect us from ourselves, crippling our ability to orient toward our own well-being. We may be a good fit for working together if you're looking for help:

Feeling overwhelmed and out of control? Is food often a reward or a punishment? Do you find yourself feeling guilty around your food choices or how much you eat? Do you find yourself skipping meals or changing how you eat because you are with other people? Do you struggle with feeling comfortable in your body? Are you eating or exercising to change the way you look? Food is not made to be overwhelming, stressful, guilt-provoking.

My areas of specialty are obesity, pre-diabetes and diabetes. I can also assist in teaching the keto or ketogenic diet. My focus within my Master's in Nutrition was on a core specialty on obesity, and within that I specialized in diabetes. Let me help you to lose weight without hunger or special foods (just real foods!), and really enjoying your food. Also able to help with healthy diets for pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding (I am a former midwife). I am a former diabetic, now in remission. My training has taught me that remission is possible for many people with Type 2 diabetes.

I pride myself on being described as warm, authentic, and fiercely devoted to what I am passionate about: helping you! I support adults and adolescents (13+) struggling with disordered eating or eating disorder recovery. I have a particular interest in supporting athletes and clients who engage in dysfunctional exercise. My counseling style is one that works with you, not against you. My role is not to lecture at you, but team with you on a foundation of shared expertise. You, as the expert of your own life. Me, as the nutrition expert.
