Kirsten works with individuals and families with all forms of disordered eating or those looking to ditch a dieting history.

Services Include:

  • One on one nutrition counseling 

  • Family based treatment (FBT) for eating disorders

  • Treatment team collaboration 

  • Food log review (when appropriate) 

  • Meal support in the office or at restaurants

  • Grocery Store tours with meal planning 

What we will work on:

  • Replacing all-or-nothing thinking with one of self-compassion. Being kind to yourself and knowing that "nutrition doesn't have to be perfect" will allow you to fuel your body and free up your time spent trying to make choices about food.

  • Incorporating cooking, planning, or preparing foods in a way that fits your schedule and goals. 

  • Expanding your understanding of how foods work in the body and use this to eat in a way that works for you and your health.  

  • Seeing your body for all that it is and all that it can do for you, which is not just a number on a scale!

Beyond Office Visits

Once we’ve gotten to know one another in the office setting, I encourage going out into a real-world setting and getting “hands-on” with an eating experiment, meal exposure at a restaurant, or delving into food choices at a grocery store.

Working with Kirsten has been absolutely critical to my eating disorder recovery journey. She is a gifted care provider who is knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate. In spite of all my fears and my initial ambivalence, I felt that I could trust her immediately. She was flexible and creative in helping me to work through the numerous anxieties that surfaced as I re-learned how to have a wholesome and joyful relationship with food. Whenever I was struggling with disordered thoughts and behaviors, Kirsten was always able to listen deeply and acknowledge the difficulty of the situation while also empowering me to move forward. She has been an empathetic coach and a role model to me — it is no exaggeration to say that she has changed my life! -Previous Client
