About Elise

Hi! I'm Elise, a dietitian who believes in the power of food to strengthen our bodies, support our mental health, and provide joy. With years of experience working at an eating disorder treatment center and behavioral health hospital, I have paired my passion for this population with dedicated interventions, knowledge, and outcomes. It is my mission to help you live a life of balance, connection, and freedom from food rules!

Approach to care

I practice with a compassionate and individualized approach. I aim to provide realistic nutrition education that can provide a true, sustainable impact on your life. I utilize aspects of intuitive eating, Health at Every Size, and an anti-diet philosophy to support your work towards recovery and food freedom. I believe that everyone is deserving and capable of having a positive relationship with food and body.

Your first session with Elise

During our first session we will spend time getting to know each other and creating a safe space for you to share authentically. I will want to know your primary concerns and reasons for seeking support. I will also gather information on your medical history, lifestyle, eating patterns, etc. We will work together to create long-term and short-term goals as well as an action plan to move towards these goals. We will end the session by scheduling our next follow-up, which is typically weekly in the beginning to provide the most supportive experience for you. I look forward to working with you!
