The most common reason my clients start working with me: they are tired of spending so much of their time, energy and money dieting, obsessed with food and want their brain space to be free for all the other important things in their life. Do you relate?
With so much conflicting information circulating, it can make you feel more stressed, overwhelmed and overall confused around what to believe and where to start.

FAQS
You’re Probably Wondering…
Weekly or biweekly. Our initial session and first follow up are one week apart. After that you and your dietitian will decide on a frequency that feels most supportive to you and your care.
I am not in-network with any insurance companies. Depending on your coverage plan we may still be able to utilize your benefits. If you call your insurance company and ask about ‘out of network coverage’ they will let you know if you are eligible for reimbursement, partial or in-full. I would then provide a superbill (which is like a receipt of services) and you would send that to your insurance company for reimbursement. I’ve had many clients have success with this! It depends on your plan, I’m happy to help in this process, too.
How to find out about your out-of-network benefits:
Yes! I’ll share a communication authorization form with you that will allow me to connect with your therapist, or other medical providers. This allows us to create a team where we can all be on the same page, coordinate care and support you through this work.
No. We don’t provide meal plans that indicate what you should or shouldn’t eat. If you’re struggling with coming up with ideas on what to eat, we will be able to brainstorm meals, assess adequacy of eating, create plans to support challenging areas around grocery shopping, cooking or choosing what to eat. You will not receive a meal plan but we will explore and create support to help move through the challenges that come from past diets and food rules so that you can feel more confidence around these decisions.
Everyone begins working together at a different place or stage of their relationship with food. On average clients work together for 6 months
If my standard rates are out of your budget, please ask for sliding scale availability. If my sliding scale spots are filled, I will be happy to point you towards another provider who might be a good fit.
