Feeding the body is an act of love and self-care
Nutrition advice can be confusing and difficult to interpret. Sometimes efforts to "eat healthy" can evolve into unhealthy restriction, or athletes can unintentionally under fuel for their sport. I can help you discover how to feed your body and begin to rebuild body trust to find balance and enjoyment from food.
My background is in healthcare, working 20 years counseling to clients of all ages with health concerns ranging from food allergies to diabetes. In recent years my work has focused on helping teen and college age clients (many are athletes) heal from eating disorders. I work part-time at the University of Wisconsin-Madison student health medical clinic and consult one day per week with Badger athletes in the UW Athletics Sports Medicine Clinic .
I have extensive experience supporting clients with anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, ARFID, RED-S, restrictive eating patterns, sports nutrition, digestive problems and many other nutrition concerns. I hold a masters degree in Clinical Nutrition, and certification as Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, am trained in Motivational Interviewing and continually learning to improve my nutrition counseling knowledge and skills.
We can't do this work alone. A comprehensive treatment team is essential and I collaborate closely with medical providers and behavioral therapists to help clients meet their goals.
I live in Madison with my husband, two teenage children and our two dogs. I love spending time in nature and the garden, I eat something chocolate most days, and am beginning to learn to crochet.
Call or email to learn more about my services. I am not on any insurance panels at this time but can provide a "super bill" or detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance plan or flex spending account.
