Hi, I’m Carrie.
How can I help you?
I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist, nutrition therapist and body image counselor. I help adults of all ages and genders.
Nutrition isn’t just about healthier food…it’s about a healthier relationship with food.
Through my virtual nutrition therapy practice, I help adults in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and across the country who are struggling to find a clear answer to the question, “What should I be eating?” for their individual stage of life, health condition, or wellness goals, while also addressing any obstacles to a calm, balanced mindset about food and eating. Nutrition isn’t just about what you eat, it’s about why you eat.
There’s no right way to have a body. There’s no single path to health and well-being.

As a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), I help adults of all ages who want to break free from disordered eating or yo-yo dieting, who want to learn how to manage IBS symptoms with food, or who simply want to make changes to their nutrition and lifestyle habits to help manage a current health concern or simply support their overall health and well-being.
Areas I specialize in include:
- Disordered eating and chronic dieting
- Binge eating disorder
- Orthorexia
- Maintaining eating disorder recovery
- Body image concerns
- Women’s health (including preconception, fertility, perimenopause, post-menopause and bone health)
- Digestive health (including irritable bowel syndrome, aka IBS)
- Cardiovascular health (including high blood pressure and high cholesterol)
- Prediabetes
- Cancer prevention and survivorship
- Balanced eating and meal planning

Through my virtual nutrition therapy practice, I help clients in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and across the country gain insights into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors about food and eating. That work helps you take meaningful, values-aligned action towards their health and wellness goals. Areas I specialize in include:
- Disordered eating and chronic dieting
- Binge eating disorder
- Orthorexia
- Maintaining eating disorder recovery
- Body image concerns
- Women’s health (including preconception, fertility, perimenopause, post-menopause and bone health)
- Digestive health (including irritable bowel syndrome, aka IBS)
- Cardiovascular health (including high blood pressure and high cholesterol)
- Prediabetes
- Cancer survivorship
- Balanced eating and meal planning
I offer a compassionate, empathetic space for adults of all ages and genders to start exploring conflicted feelings about food and body image or face fears that they aren’t “doing nutrition right.”
A supportive space for you
I believe that a balanced, peaceful relationship with food is possible, whether you’re trying to break free from chronic dieting, grappling with gut heath issues, or trying to figure out what a “healthy” diet means for you (or maybe all three). And as both a dietitian and the writer of a popular nutrition column for The Seattle Times, I know that one-size-does-not-fit-all when it comes to nutrition, health and well-being.
I approach this work from a place of curiosity, non-judgment and compassion, and I’ll create a supportive space for you to explore your relationship with nutrition, food, your body and your health. We’re taught that our bodies are failures unless they conform to a narrow set of appearance and health standards. We’re taught that if we don’t eat perfectly, that any health problems we develop are our fault.
That’s just not true.
Health and well-being are multi-faceted
They don’t look the same for every person, and there’s no one right path to follow on your journey.
You are the expert in you, because only you have lived in your body and had your life experiences. I’m here to be your guide, to listen, to understand, to ask questions, to help you expand your awareness and curiosity while setting self-judgment aside. All of this can help you:
- Start to release yourself from rigid or manic food beliefs and food rules.
- Cultivate ways of eating and moving that feels right for you.
- Learn how to nourish yourself, mind, body and soul.
- Rewrite your food and body story (including a happier ending).

Not sure? I know this can be hard.
I’ve had clients crying in our sessions because they felt like they “should be able to figure out nutrition” on their own. I remember one woman telling me, “I’m smart, I’m educated, I run my own business…why can’t I figure out how to eat?”
My clients are smart people, and they’re successful in life. They’ve raised humans from birth to adulthood, or they’ve earned advanced degrees, or they give back to their communities, or they’ve reached big heights in their chosen career, or their feisty entrepreneurs (sometimes all of the above. I’ve had physicians and psychologists as clients.
Sometimes the food thing just feels really, really hard. And there is zero shame in asking for help to figure it out.
Look at it this way—most of us drive, but do all drivers know how to fix their own cars? Of course they don’t (especially modern cars with all their electronics). Similarly, we all eat, but confusing and conflicting messages in today’s modern media landscape make it hard to sort through the nonsense to find the nuggets of truth that are actually helpful to you as an individual. And if you have a messy relationship with food thanks to experiences in your childhood, adolescent or younger adults years, it’s even harder to figure out things on your own.
Whether you’re looking for a more balanced, less complicated relationship with food, a resolution to symptoms (and food fears) of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or help with other nutrition and health challenges, I’m here for you.
