I have had the privilege of working with Kristen for many years now. She has been a staunch advocate for both my physical health and personal well-being while encouraging me to be the same sort of advocate for myself. Kristen’s knowledge of nutrition and eating disorders as well as the different ways they can affect an individual has been indispensable to my recovery. She has worked in flawless tandem with my other providers to ensure that I am always receiving the best and most effective care possible. Whilst working with Kristen, I have always felt heard, respected, and understood. This has allowed for a mutual sense of trust and continues to engender progress in my recovery.

I started working with Kristen when I was 22 years old and just starting my recovery from anorexia, a time when I was extremely doubtful about my ability to recover and unsure of what to do. I was fearful to begin recovery, but from the beginning, I could tell that Kristen genuinely cared about me as a person and I felt at ease with her from the start. She has provided the steady and consistent encouragement and accountability that I have needed. I have always felt individually cared for by Kristen, and she has tailored our sessions to my goals and needs at different points in recovery. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. I would highly recommend working with Kristen to anyone who is looking for an eating disorder-specific nutritionist who will consistently provide a safe and caring space and both challenge and encourage you in your recovery.

Kristen is both an extremely special therapist and person. Every single session feels purposeful and helps me to rework my thinking. I feel heard, validated, and challenged. Kristen makes her feelings clear- she is honest but also kind- and she motivates me to stay on track. Eating disorders are tough to combat- the thoughts kick in everyday- but I have worked with Kristen on several different strategies to fight back. I think Kristen could be an effective therapist for all kinds of different people with a range of issues, but from my personal experience, I can see that she’s really talented with EDs.

Kristen has been treating my daughter for an eating disorder since middle school. My daughter met with Kristen weekly to review nutritional planning for the upcoming week along with an assessment of the prior week’s plan. Throughout their sessions, Kristen was patient, kind, and firm in her approach. Kristen made time to meet with me after each session to discuss and address any concerns I may have in addition offering her support and guidance.

Kristen is knowledgeable, compassionate, accessible, and will coordinate care with other professionals who are treating you/your child. Kristen is warm, welcoming, and calming. She truly has her patients’ best interests at heart. My daughter has made great strides since first seeing Kristen for her eating disorder, and I credit Kristen and her expertise in helping her reach recovery. I am forever grateful! I highly recommend Kristen.
