I am a Registered Dietitian, licensed in IL. I have extensive experience with Motivational Interviewing through formal training and through working with individuals who struggle to build healthy relationships with food and to manage body weight in a sustainable way.
During the intake, we will establish the baseline and identify the client’s goals. Then, we will determine together what steps we can take to optimize the outcome. I do not tell clients what to do, I ask what is important to them to prioritize. I believe that small attainable goals can bring a sense of accomplishment and create lasting habits.
"Between points A and B, there is a journey consisting of many steps. My overall philosophy when working with clients is to meet them where they are and help them to get where they would like to be at a pace that they are comfortable with. I work well with clients who feel overwhelmed by the information offered on the Internet related to food, nutrition, and weight management and would like more clarity on how to tailor that information to their situation."
