Individualized eating disorder recovery coaching to help you move toward meaningful change by working with yourself instead of against yourself.
Hi, I’m Kate!
I’m so glad you are here! I offer individualized, trauma-informed eating disorder recovery coaching rooted in compassion, neurobiology, and respect for your lived experience. My approach is grounded in a non-diet, Health at Every Size® perspective.
I believe full recovery from an eating disorder is possible when we harness our innate capacity for change. I also understand recovery is complex and that eating disorders often develop for reasons that make sense. Eating disorders are not a personal failure or a choice—they are deeply learned adaptations shaped by biology, lived experience, trauma, oppression, culture, and the nervous system’s attempts to survive.
Many people trying to recover get stuck in a cycle of trying harder, criticizing themselves, or forcing change—only to feel exhausted and wondering why recovery still feels so impossible. I believe change happens differently.
Instead of relying on shame, force, or fighting yourself, I help people better understand what is keeping them stuck and find new possibilities by working with yourself instead of against yourself. I partner with you—wherever you are in your process—and together we find a path forward that feels aligned and authentic. I’ll meet you where you are while holding hope for all that is possible.
I have a Master’s in Social Work and am a CCI Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach.
Ways We Can Work Together
Recovery happens in everyday moments—not only in a session. Working with me helps bridge the gap between recovery and real life to create sustainable change. Sometimes you need consistent, more regular support navigating recovery in real time throughout the week including meals, urges, and distress. Other times, a weekly focused space for reflection, problem-solving, and accountability feels like the right fit.
Together, we can determine what level of support best fits your current needs.
-
1:1 coaching sessions provide a space to better understand what is keeping you stuck, build momentum, and move toward meaningful change in recovery. Together, we explore what feels hard, navigate barriers with compassion, and identify realistic next steps that align with your goals and values.
Available weekly or biweekly
-
Recovery doesn’t only happen in sessions and difficult moments don’t happen on a schedule!
Optional messaging support provides encouragement, accountability, collaborative problem-solving, and real-time support when recovery feels especially hard.Whether you are navigating meals, body image distress, urges, fear, or uncertainty, you do not have to hold it all alone. Together, we create more steadiness and support for recovery in everyday life.

Supported eating is about moving from knowing to doing.
Sometimes recovery is not about knowing what to do—it is about having support while doing something that feels scary or a part of us wants to avoid.
Supported eating sessions offer compassionate, real-time support to help bridge the gap between intention and action while creating new experiences that help the brain and nervous system build greater safety, flexibility, and trust over time
My Approach
When we work together, it’s not a rigid program or someone who claims to have all the answers. Instead you’ll get a collaborative partnership rooted in respect. My approach to eating disorder recovery coaching is rooted in the belief that full recovery is possible and that eating disorders make sense. I do not see recovery as a process of shaming, forcing, or fighting yourself into change. Instead, I help clients work with their brain, nervous system, and protective parts to build new experiences of safety, flexibility, agency, and self-trust.
Our work is collaborative, practical, and grounded in autonomy and choice. Together, we focus on the real-life moments where recovery happens and taking meaningful steps towards an aligned life. My approach is grounded in a non-diet, Health at Every Size® perspective.
-
My work is trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, neurodivergent-affirming, affirming to all identities and backgrounds, and individualized to your needs. There is no one-size-fits-all method for recovery.
Our work together centers around safety, consent, transparency, and respect for your autonomy. We collaborate together—moving at a pace that honors where you are while still supporting meaningful steps toward change. -
I believe full recovery from an eating disorder is possible when we harness our innate capacity for change. Recovery is not a straightforward process and you do not have to feel fully ready to begin. No one ever feels fully ready to begin.
I believe lasting freedom from an eating disorder happens not through shame, force, or fighting yourself, but through support that works with your brain and nervous system. -
Eating disorders are not a personal failure or choice. I validate the ways an eating disorder makes sense and has been a survival strategy—an attempt at a solution by a part of us to deal with our lived experience, painful learnings, chronic dysregulation, trauma, and oppression.
Recovery asks us to honor our eating disorder’s attempts to help us survive while also acknowledging the harm it has caused in our life. I believe we must compassionately hold space for both of these truths without judgement.
Together, we approach patterns with curiosity—not shame. -
Eating disorders are partly biological. When the brain and body are undernourished and stuck in survival mode, eating disorder thoughts, urges, rigidity, and anxiety intensify.
Adequate and consistent nourishment is foundational to recovery, and I support nutritional rehabilitation in a way that is compassionate, trauma-informed, and respectful of each person’s lived experience. My approach is grounded in a weight-inclusive, non-diet, and Health at Every Size® perspective.
We live in a culture where undereating has become normalized. Working with me is a space where you have unconditional permission to eat—a space away from diet, wellness, and hustle culture. -
Eating disorders are not simply thoughts or behaviors—they are deeply learned patterns rooted in the brain and nervous system’s attempts to create a perceived sense of safety and survival. This is one reason recovery is rarely about trying harder.
Lasting change does not happen through shame, force, or criticizing yourself into healing.
Instead, recovery happens through creating new experiences that help the brain update what it has learned and begin to experience greater safety, flexibility, agency, and self-trust.
Together, we work to help your brain and nervous system learn something new: that nourishment, uncertainty, and being fully alive can become safer too.
-
Recovery doesn’t only happen in sessions; it happens in real life. In the meals, snacks, grocery shopping, rest, routines, body image moments, urges, social situations, hard conversations, and the small decisions that happen throughout the day
Coaching offers practical, present-focused support to help you integrate recovery in your real life as you navigate diet culture and recovery-related challenges.
