About Stephanie

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm a weight inclusive Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I specialize in working with kids, adults and families in a weight inclusive and non-diet approach. I love supporting others in improving their health and their relationship with food. I specialize in nutrition therapy & counseling for: intuitive eating, eating disorders/disordered eating (including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID and OSFED), child nutrition concerns, picky eating, child growth concerns. I am also a gender affirming and neurodiversity affirming provider.

Approach to care

I'm a dietitian, but I don't believe in dieting. Instead of focusing on weight loss, I help people develop a healthy relationship with food, enjoy all foods without guilt, and trust, appreciate, and respect their body. All bodies deserve dignity and respect. I help people reach their health goals, without focusing on the number on the scale.

Your first session with Stephanie

During our first session, we'll spend time talking about your history, including your medical history, allergies, medications, food preferences, and any history with dieting, disordered eating, or eating disorders. We'll also talk about your goals and what kind of support you would like from me in helping you reach those goals. At the end of each session we'll review our plan, and I'll share with you any supporting information that might be helpful, like a handout, activity to do, or recipe.
