What Is Food 4 Thought Nutrition Therapy?
Food 4 Thought Nutrition Therapy is an affirming nutrition counseling practice that values and honors lived experience. We promote a balanced way of eating that is non-restrictive, working within a model that observes all areas of life that can play a role in health.
We recognize that people come in all shapes, sizes and different neurotypes which should be celebrated. We meet patients where they are at in their journey whilst helping them accomplish their health needs at a pace that is achievable and realistic. We view nutrition as a way to support the activities that bring value and meaning into life, and want to support you in your goals.
My areas of interest and experience include working with people who:
-
Have disordered eating or eating disorders
-
Experience digestive disorders (constipation, diarrhea, IBS, IBD)
-
Have body dissatisfaction
-
Encounter challenges with feeding themselves
-
Live in marginalized bodies
-
Experience difficulty taking care of their bodies
-
Have medical conditions and/or medical trauma
-
Have chronic illness (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease)

Growing up with chronic disease, I wanted a provider who would listen, take the time to really go through my history, problem solve effectively, validate, and explain what I was going through. I made a commitment to become the kind of provider who truly cared and who would carefully consider each case. My goal is to show you that you deserve to treat your body with respect, and help you nourish yourself in support of your next adventure. You deserve to feel safe and at peace in your body and around food.
My areas of interest and experience include working with:
-Disordered Eating
-Performance Nutrition/Sports Nutrition
-Type 1 & 2 Diabetes
-Cardiovascular Disease
-Celiac’s Disease
-Acute & Chronic Malnutrition**
-Anyone looking for balanced nutrition education and/or to heal their relationship with food and body
**Medical clearance for outpatient work required
