Nutrition Therapy

You're here because you are looking for help with an eating disorder or health concerns that are affected by food and nutrition.

The world we live in perpetuates diet culture and weight stigma. That, along with the constant noise and information about food and nutrition, can lead us to feel confused as to what to do.

Even though it is hard to navigate in an image-obsessed world promising quick-fixes for complex issues, it is possible to feel better.

You can find confidence and peace with eating, movement and your body. Eating does not need to be stressful or confusing!

You can find your recovery from an eating disorder or manage a health condition while being more relaxed with food. You are worthy as you are.

Through nutrition therapy, you can:

Recover from an eating disorder or disordered eating
Overcome challenges around food, nutrition, eating, exercise and body image
Feel better physically and emotionally
Find ways to manage digestive issues, food allergies, health concerns and more
Improve your overall wellbeing

As a qualified dietitian with 10+ years of experience, I will support you on this journey with an approach to nutrition therapy rooted in curiosity, humor, evidence, and compassion.

I work from a body affirming, trauma-informed, culturally competent, and evidence-informed lens. You are the expert, and I will partner with you to explore your relationship with food and movement. Through gaining a deep understanding of you: your sleep, stress, lifestyle, relationships, medical conditions, lived experience, socioeconomic background, and more, I will help you eat with trust. I aim to help you choose food that meets your health, taste, sensory, medical, social, cultural, financial, and emotional needs.

I do not have a one-size-fits-all approach.

We will work to help you will gain awareness about how your eating and relationship with food is impacting your life and vice versa. We will look at what has led you here and what strengths and values you hold that can help you overcome these challenges.

My Approach

Build a foundation

We will meet initially for 60 minutes and get to know each other (all appointments are virtual). I will ask questions to understand your history and present experiences with food, eating, movement and body. I will ask questions about sleep, stress, digestive issues, etc. A full assessment takes 1-3 sessions. We will define your goals and you will leave with strategies to try. After our first meeting, you will get a shared google folder where all resources and takeaway work will be shared.

Experiment and evolve

We will meet for 50-minute follow-up sessions based on your specific situation and needs. We will experiment with interventions and evaluate what works and what doesn't. I will also provide referrals to other providers should a medical doctor, therapist or other type of assessment or testing be helpful. My services include support between sessions, if appropriate and desired (for example, cooking skill instruction, meal support and email/text support).

Finishing touches

By now, you may feel more confident around food and body. You may be more solidly in eating disorder recovery, and/or your lab work or other medical tests may show improvement. We will continue to work together as long as you'd like, until your goals are met. We will eventually meet less often and end our time together. The entire process may take a few visits, a few weeks or a few months.

During our time together I will

Meet you where you're at
Never over-promise and be real with you
Cultivate an effective therapeutic relationship with you
Bring a harm-reduction approach as needed
Incorporate mindfulness and other strategies to help nervous system regulation
Support you as you determine your own definition of health and of success
Use the evidence available and my 10 + years of experience to provide sound recommendations
Provide individualized care through using my ‘nutrition therapy toolkit,’ which includes: motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Intuitive Eating, Exposure and Response Prevention, parts work, nutrition education, strength-based coaching, books/readings, worksheets, and more

Working Kate was one of the best things I did for myself and my family. Working with her I have been able to rethink many of the beliefs about body size that were instilled in me as a child and had caused me a lot of unhappiness in my life. With Kate I was able to tear down these beliefs and build up new healthier ones that are now bringing me much more peace, happiness, and health in my life. As a mother, I've been really happy to see that my new outlook is positively influencing my daughter. Kate has also been instrumental in helping my family eat better. As a vegan family we always enjoyed healthful foods but Kate helped us focus on a better mix of foods for optimal nutrition and also to make meal planning easier and more enjoyable. As a result meal prep and family dinner have become enjoyable, peaceful moments of the day that the whole family looks forward too.

What is nutrition therapy?

Nutrition therapy is an approach to help you overcome challenges with food.
