If you’re a therapist working with clients who struggle with food, eating patterns, or body image, you’ve likely seen how complex and intertwined these concerns can be with mental health. I have good news. You don’t have to hold that alone.

I work alongside therapists to support clients with the nutrition side of care. This way, you can stay focused on the emotional and psychological work. Meanwhile, your client receives consistent, aligned support around food.

When to Refer to a Dietitian

Nutrition care is not just about “what to eat.” I help clients:

• Build consistent, sustainable eating patterns
• Understand how stress and the nervous system impact appetite
• Reduce food-related anxiety and mental load
• Improve energy, concentration, and emotional regulation
• Reconnect with hunger and fullness cues
• Develop a more neutral, flexible relationship with food

This work often supports and reinforces the progress happening in therapy.

My Approach

• Weight-inclusive and non-diet
• Grounded in intuitive eating principles
• Trauma-informed and client-centered
• Focused on reducing overwhelm, not adding more rules

I specialize in:

• Disordered eating and chronic dieting
• ADHD & neurodivergent eating patterns
• Stress-related appetite changes
• Food decision fatigue and burnout-related eating challenges

Sessions are collaborative, paced, and adapted to each client’s capacity.

How We Collaborate

I believe the best client outcomes happen when providers are aligned. With client consent, I can:

• Coordinate care and share relevant updates
• Align on treatment goals and pacing
• Support consistency in messaging around food and body
• Communicate around challenges or barriers that arise

My goal is to complement your work, not complicate or compete with it.

Insurance & Logistics

• Located in Champaign, IL
• Virtual sessions available across Illinois
• Accepts insurance, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Self-pay options available

Clients can schedule directly, or you are welcome to connect me via email if that feels easier for coordination.

How to Refer

You can refer clients in a way that feels simplest for you.

• Provide my website with your client
• Provide my contact information for them to reach out
• Email an introduction (with client consent)

Is it a Good Fit?

I work best with clients who are:

• Open to exploring their relationship with food (not focused on rigid meal plans)
• Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from eating
• Looking for support that is realistic, flexible, and sustainable

If you’re unsure whether a referral is a good fit, you’re always welcome to reach out.
