About Emily

As a registered dietitian, the focus of my practice is nutrition stabilization (consistent and adequate intake of a wide variety of foods) and to improve interoceptive awareness (the sense of knowing what is going on inside your body).

This focus creates a foundation for me to support clients in decreasing their reliance on life interfering behaviors/patterns, to restore reliable hunger/fullness cues, and feel confident in their ability to meet their body's needs.

Whether you are needing support in healing from an eating disorder, trying to stabilize disordered (hectic) eating patterns, or just looking for help to identify what nutrition advice to 'listen to,' I'm here to help.

I work with individuals who are healing from:

• Anorexia Nervosa
• Bulimia Nervosa
• Binge Eating Disorder
• Other Specified Feeding Eating Disorder
• Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
• Picky Eating/Lack of food variety
• Chaotic Eating Patterns
• Low energy & Brain Fog
• Unreliable Hunger & Fullness Cues
• Dieting & Weight Obsession
• An Unhealthy Obsession with Being Healthy
• Anxiety/ Depression
• Poor Body Image 
• Excessive Exercise Patterns
• Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)

To support this process, I utilize dietary informed therapeutic modalities such as: Dietary Informed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Dietary Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Food Related Exposure Response and Prevention, and Dietary Informed Compassion Focused Therapy.

I utilize motivational interviewing and client centered counseling techniques to untangle and explore clients' experiences with food, body, and movement.

I use the following philosophies to inform my practice: Intuitive Eating, All Foods Fit, Health at Every Size, and Body Image Neutrality & Appreciation.

Here is a little bit more about me....

I was born & raised in Southern California. I'm a beach girl, so I am not leaving California. I enjoy bike riding, hiking, cooking, going to the beach, and spending time with family & friends. Some of my favorite foods include: French toast, vanilla ice cream, enchiladas, cucumbers, bell peppers, raspberries, and apples! I recovered from my own eating disorder and would be happy to share my story with you. I look forward to meeting you!
