About Kimberly
Kim is a registered dietitian licensed in multiple states. Following her involvement of a family member's residential eating disorder journey, she discovered her calling and became a registered dietitian. As a dietitian for >2 years, Kim specializes in working with patients struggling with eating disorders (EDs) at every level of care (IP, residential, PHP, IOP and OP). She currently works full time at a nationally recognized eating disorder treatment facility, and supports adolescents and adults struggling with EDs that includes anorexia nervosa, ARFID, BED, bulimia nervosa, and OSFED.
Approach to care
Kim utilizes a foundational "meet you where you are" approach to care. Food is a fundamentally intimate part of an individual, and Kim commits to thoroughly understanding her patients' relationship with food so that she can provide insight, and tailored recommendations catered towards ED recovery. As all EDs are complex and different than others, Kim collaborates with your healthcare team that may include a therapist and/or psychiatrist, so that she is providing the best plan of care for your needs.
Your first session with Kimberly
Kim will first and foremost get to know who you are and why you decided to take this step towards ED recovery. As much as you would like to disclose, Kim will then conduct an initial assessment, that she has tailored herself, to learn more about your health and ED journey. Once an understanding of your nutrition history is established, Kim will provide attainable initial goals and/or education to work towards until your follow-up session.
