About Katie…
We're the right fit if.... You have an eating disorder or feel like your relationship with food could be better; you have diabetes (type 1 or type 2) and/or PCOS; and you’re tired of trying new diets, struggling with poor body image and want to learn more about nutrition from a non-diet, trauma-informed, and weight-inclusive lens.
Clients I work with usually.... are open to learning a different approach to food and eating, to connecting more with their nervous system and body and to recovering from an eating disorder. I love to help people who feel like their relationship with food/eating/body image is strained and wants a new way of being.
I create safety and connection in our relationship by....Always asking for permission prior to giving out information, actively listening and respecting your boundaries, showing compassion for how hard this work can be, checking in with you throughout our session to see how everything is landing and paying attention to your body signals. I will always allow you to show up however you are that day with no expectation of how session “should” go.
Values I bring into my practice include.... Curiosity, compassion, patience, safety, relationship, and connecting with our bodies and nervous system. It’s so important to me as a provider to continue learning which is why I prioritize training with the Embodied Recovery Institute, participating in professional supervision, and regularly attending my own therapy. I strive to work alongside my clients to explore and support what their goals are in nutrition counseling.
Please note: Katie is able to provide in-person sessions for clients who reside in the Asheville, NC area
