Compassionate eating disorder nutrition therapy for Washington DC residents

At Embrace Nutrition Counseling, I provide virtual eating disorder nutrition therapy for individuals located in Washington, DC, who are ready to explore a more peaceful, flexible, and compassionate relationship with food.

As an eating disorder dietitian, I support individuals navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and the emotional experiences that can make nourishment feel complicated. My approach is weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that you deserve care without shame, judgment, or pressure to change your body.

Whether you are beginning to question your relationship with food, actively working toward eating disorder recovery, or looking for specialized nutrition support alongside your existing treatment team, you do not have to figure everything out alone.

Virtual nutrition counseling is available to clients located in Washington, DC, as well as throughout Virginia and Maryland.

About embrace nutrition

Eating disorders and disordered eating can affect people of every body size, age, and background. You do not need to look a certain way, reach a particular point of distress, or have a formal diagnosis to deserve support.
I offer specialized nutrition counseling for individuals experiencing:
Anorexia nervosa: Support with nourishment, food-related fears, nutritional rehabilitation, and recovery from restrictive eating.
- Bulimia nervosa: Support with regular eating, reducing the restrict-binge-purge cycle, and rebuilding trust around food.
- Binge eating disorder: Compassionate support for binge eating patterns, food deprivation, emotional experiences around eating, and reducing shame.
- ARFID: Support with food avoidance, sensory sensitivities, fear of aversive consequences, and expanding food flexibility when appropriate.
- Orthorexia and restrictive eating: Exploring rigid food rules, food-related anxiety, and the pressure to eat perfectly.
- Disordered eating and chronic dieting: Support for individuals who feel preoccupied with food, weight, calories, or body image, even without a diagnosed eating disorder.
My approach integrates weight-inclusive care, Intuitive Eating principles, body neutrality, and trauma-informed support. I recognize that food and body concerns can be shaped by personal experiences, social pressures, neurodivergence, trauma, and the environments in which we live.
You may not identify with an eating disorder but still feel exhausted by dieting, food guilt, or the sense that you are constantly trying to manage your body.
Intuitive eating counseling offers an opportunity to explore a different relationship with food—one that moves away from rigid external rules and toward nourishment, flexibility, and connection with your own needs.
Our work may include exploring diet culture messages, understanding hunger and fullness cues when accessible, making peace with previously restricted foods, and navigating body changes without making weight loss the goal.
Intuitive Eating is not a set of new rules or a requirement to eat perfectly. For individuals in eating disorder recovery, it is approached thoughtfully and adapted to support nutritional needs and recovery goals.
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.
