Where do you work?
My private practice consists of eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, BED, Night Eating Syndrome. and disordered eating and orthorexia. I also work with clients suffering with digestive issues and PCOS. I am the sole dietitian within a group counseling practice, located in Pittsburgh, PA.
What do you enjoy most about what you do?
Living in a diet culture and fat phobic society, I enjoy helping my clients transform their unhealthy connection with food and their bodies. It is gratifying to see my clients develop a positive relationship with food and body image, and ultimately change their lives.
Why eating disorders treatment? What drives you?
As a former chronic dieter, I can truly empathize and relate to my clients struggles and fears with food and weight. It brings me such satisfaction when I am able to help my clients weight restore in a safe and comfortable environment or convert a dieter into an intuitive eater.
