Frequently asked questions

I work with adults 18 and older who want a calmer, more trusting relationship with food and their bodies. That includes people in eating disorder recovery, people stuck in the diet and binge cycle, people living with PMOS (formerly PCOS), people navigating GLP-1 medications, and anyone who's tired of fighting with food. You don't need a diagnosis to work with me. If food feels complicated, that's reason enough.

I work with adults 18 and older. If you're looking for support for a teen, reach out anyway. I'm happy to point you toward colleagues who specialize in adolescent care.

Both. I see clients virtually across New York and North Carolina, and in person at my Durham office. Most of my clients meet with me virtually, and it works just as well.

Book a free 15‑minute call. We'll talk through what's going on, what support could look like, and whether I'm the right fit. If I'm not, I'll do my best to help you find someone who is.

It depends on what you're navigating. For some clients, especially in eating disorder recovery, I'll recommend having a therapist, physician, or psychiatrist on board too. If you don't have a team yet, I can help you find referrals. And if you already have one, I'm glad to collaborate with them so your care actually connects.

Our first session is a 60‑minute assessment. We'll go through your history with food, your body, and movement, talk about what's bringing you in, and set goals that feel meaningful to you. It's a conversation, and you can share as much or as little as feels comfortable.

Follow-up sessions are 45 minutes, and we'll decide together how often to meet based on what you need. Every client is different, but we might work on eating consistently and enough, reconnecting with hunger and fullness, making peace with foods that feel scary, untangling diet culture beliefs, or building a more neutral relationship with your body.

If structure would help, we'll build it together. It's flexible, built around foods you actually like, and never about restriction. For some people a plan is a helpful starting point. For others, it's not needed at all.

I don't set weight goals, and I won't put you on a diet. But if weight is on your mind, you don't have to leave that at the door. Most people who find me have spent years being told their body is the problem, and wanting it to change makes complete sense. We'll talk about it honestly, and focus on what actually moves your health and quality of life: eating consistently, feeling less chaos around food, and taking care of your body at any size.

Absolutely. GLP-1 medications change hunger, fullness, and how food feels, and that can be a lot to navigate, especially if food has been complicated for you before. I'll help you eat enough, manage side effects, protect your energy and strength, and notice early if old patterns start creeping back. I can also help before you start, so you're ready for side effects, or after you stop, when hunger often comes back fast and loud. I don't prescribe these medications, and I don't judge anyone for taking them. More on GLP-1 support

Yes, it's one of the biggest parts of my practice. PMOS is the new name for PCOS, and it better reflects what the condition actually is: a whole-body hormonal and metabolic condition, not just something happening in the ovaries. Most people with PMOS have been told, over and over, that the answer is to lose weight. I take a different approach, focusing on eating in a way that supports steady energy, blood sugar, and your overall health, without restriction or rigid rules. More on PMOS support

Registered dietitians complete specific education, supervised clinical training, and a national exam, and we're regulated by professional boards. “Nutritionist” isn't a protected title in many places, so anyone can use it. A nutrition therapist is a dietitian with advanced training in eating disorders and disordered eating, who uses therapeutic approaches like CBT, DBT, and ACT alongside nutrition care. I'm all three: a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a nutrition therapist.

I share my current rates on our free consult call, along with options like out-of-network reimbursement and reduced-fee spots. That way, we can talk through what makes sense for you, rather than you guessing from a number on a website.

Yes, for some plans. I'm in network with the Duke Student Health Plan, and I'm working on adding more. For other plans, I provide superbills you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

I accept credit cards and FSA cards.

Scheduling happens over email, which I know feels a little old-school, but it means you're talking to me, not a booking bot. Once we've set up your first session, you'll get access to a secure client portal through SimplePractice for intake paperwork and billing.

I see clients in New York and North Carolina. I'm also licensed to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy, which may be covered by insurance, in Arizona, California, Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. If you live in one of those states, feel free to reach out and ask.

I keep a limited number of reduced-fee spots, and I provide pro bono care through Project HEAL for people who can't otherwise access eating disorder treatment. If cost is a barrier, ask. We'll figure out what's possible.

I ask for 48 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions canceled with less notice, or missed without notice, are charged the full session fee.
