Who I work with in fairfax

Eating disorder recovery during adolescence often involves more than the individual. When appropriate, I collaborate with parents, caregivers, therapists, physicians, and other members of a teen's treatment team.
Changes in routine, independence, academic pressure, social environments, and increased responsibility around meals can make eating disorder recovery especially challenging during college and young adulthood.
Nutrition therapy can provide consistent support while you develop skills that fit your changing life.
I work with adults who are navigating eating disorder recovery, chronic dieting, body image concerns, emotional distress around food, and long-standing patterns that may have developed over many years.
Pregnancy and postpartum can bring significant changes to eating, body image, and your relationship with movement. I provide perinatal nutrition support for individuals who are navigating these transitions alongside eating disorder recovery or disordered eating concerns.

A Weight-Inclusive Approach to Eating Disorder Recovery

My approach incorporates weight-inclusive care, Health at Every Size® principles, Intuitive Eating, and evidence-based eating disorder nutrition therapy.

Exploring movement from a place of care rather than punishment

FAQs

Do you provide in-person appointments in Fairfax?

1

Currently, Embrace Nutrition Counseling provides virtual nutrition counseling for clients located in Fairfax and throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC.

Virtual appointments allow you to receive specialized eating disorder care from your own home and can make it easier to coordinate nutrition counseling with therapy, medical appointments, school, work, and other responsibilities.

What eating disorders do you treat?

2

I provide nutrition therapy for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, orthorexia, compulsive exercise, and related disordered eating concerns.

do I need an official eating disorder diagnosis to work with you?

3

No.

Many people seek support before receiving a formal diagnosis. You do not need to be at a certain weight, have a specific set of symptoms, or feel "sick enough" to benefit from nutrition therapy.

If food thoughts, exercise behaviors, body image concerns, or anxiety around eating are affecting your daily life, support may be helpful.
