Compassionate care for the woman who's done with the all-or-nothing, rigid rules, shame spirals, and attempts at “moderation”

Initial sessions start at $200 (90 minutes) with follow-ups at $125 (60 minutes) per session.

I do not currently accept insurance, but can provide a Super Bill for you to provide to your insurance, for potential reimbursement.

I also offer a sliding scale to those with financial constraints, as well as session packages at a discounted rate. Please inquire for more information.

My approach is weight-neutral or weight inclusive, which simply means I believe that weight is just one piece to our health puzzle and weight is not a behavior. It is a metric. We know that intentional weight-loss diets have a 95% percent failure rate, often cause long-term harm, and can lead to the development of disordered eating and/or clinical eating disorders. This is why I take a harm reduction approach. I meet you where you are, hold space for your desire of weight loss or dissatisfaction with your current weight, and help you navigate caring for your here and now body.

In our work together, we pay attention to the things that actually move the needle on how you feel (and your overall health): nourishing your body consistently, check in with relevant labs/testing, tuning into hunger and fullness cues, letting go of the food rules that have been taking up so much mental space, improving self-trust + confidence, and building sustainable, healthy nutrition habits that align with you and your values.

Bodies do what they do when you stop fighting them. What you'll gain here is a quieter relationship with food and a lot more room in your head for the rest of your life.

Intuitive eating is a term that gets tossed around a lot and often incorrectly. Intuitive eating is an evidence-based framework with hundreds of studies to date showing positive impacts on health. It’s a framework (not a diet plan) for rebuilding trust with your body: learning to eat in response to your actual hunger, fullness, and satisfaction instead of a set of external rules. It's not "the hunger-fullness diet" and it's definitely not the antidote to having any structure. Think of it as coming home to a way of eating you were born knowing, before diet culture talked you out of it.

Handing you a rigid plan would just be another set of rules to follow and eventually feel like you've failed at, and you've probably had enough of those. Instead, we work on helping you become the expert on your own body, so you can nourish yourself with confidence whether you're at a dinner party, on a hard day, or staring into the fridge at 9pm. I'll absolutely offer guidance, ideas, and gentle structure when it's helpful (and especially if you are early in recovery from chronic dieting or an eating disorder)— but my ultimate goal is helping you become the expert of planning meals and knowing how much + what to eat to help you feel your best, mentally and physically.

Not at all, and I'm so glad you asked! You don't need a diagnosis, a rock-bottom moment, or a "good enough" reason to want a better relationship with food. If you're exhausted by the mental noise around eating, tired of starting over every Monday, or just sensing there's a more peaceful way to live in your body — you're exactly who I work with. If you think you may have an active eating disorder, I am happy to meet you where you are, go at a pace that feels safe for you, and determine appropriate level of care or support that you may need. I do specialize in eating disorders, however, you do not have to have an eating disorder diagnosis to work with me.

Absolutely and I’m so glad you asked! While I do specialize in “grey-area drinking,” nutrition support in substance use recovery, and helping women navigate cutting back or quitting drinking—I enjoy helping ALL women who simply want a healthier relationship with food and their body—one that feels intuitive, sustainable, and satisfying!

I believe you! and here's the thing: it's not that you “failed” all those programs. They were designed in a way that almost everyone "fails" eventually, and then hands you the blame. This is different because we're not adding another plan on top of the pile. We're getting underneath the whole exhausting cycle — the rules, the guilt, the all-or-nothing — and building something that doesn't require willpower to maintain. The goal isn't a stricter version of what hasn't worked. It's freedom from needing it at all.

Warm, honest, and a lot less clinical than you might be picturing. Our sessions feel more like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend than a lecture from someone in a white coat. We'll talk about what's really going on with food and your body, untangle the rules that have been taking up so much head space, and move at a pace that feels safe for you. You can come exactly as you are — no perfect eating, no homework guilt, no judgment. Ever.

Currently, I do not. If you have an HSA or FSA card, those can often be used — and I'm happy to provide a “Super Bill” you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Both! I can meet virtually via a HIPAA secure platform or in-person.

For virtual/telehealth visits where I am providing Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) I can only see clients who reside in MO, OR, FL, and MD.

For in-person visits, I am available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, by appointment only, at 3623 South Ave., Springfield, MO.
