Individualized eating disorder recovery coaching to help you move toward lasting change by working with yourself—rather than using shame or force.
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.
I believe change and full recovery from an eating disorder is possible. I also understand recovery is complex and that eating disorders often develop for reasons that make sense. Eating disorders are not a personal failure—they are deeply learned adaptations rooted in biology, lived experience, and survival.
Many people trying to recover get stuck in a cycle of trying harder, criticizing themselves, or forcing change—only to feel exhausted, defeated, and wonder why recovery still feels so impossible. I believe lasting change happens differently.
Instead of relying on shame, force, or white-knuckling recovery, I help people better understand what is keeping them stuck and find new possibilities by working with the brain and nervous system—not against them. I partner with you—wherever you are in your process—and together we find a path forward that feels aligned and authentic for you. 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. Coaching 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 Philosophy
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. Recovery can feel confusing, exhausting, and at times deeply lonely—especially when it feels like you are constantly fighting yourself. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a space away from diet, wellness, and hustle culture—one where you are seen as a whole person, not a problem to be fixed.Together, we’ll clarify what’s keeping you stuck and find a path forward at a pace that is right for you. Coaching with me is a space where ambivalence is welcome; you don’t have to feel fully ready for recovery or hide away parts of yourself here.
-
I believe full recovery from an eating disorder is possible when we harness our innate capacity for change. Recovery is not straightforward and you do not have to feel fully ready to begin; truthfully, no one 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 body. -
Eating disorders are not a personal failure. 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, dysregulation, trauma, and oppression. Healing 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 and compassion—not shame. -
Eating disorders are not simply thoughts or behaviors—they are deeply learned patterns rooted in the brain and nervous system’s attempts to create 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.
-
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 nourishment and nutritional rehabilitation are important parts of healing and creating lasting freedom.
-
Recovery doesn’t only happen in sessions. Coaching offers practical, present-focused support to help you navigate recovery in your real life as you navigate diet culture and recovery-related challenges in real life.
-
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 approach to recovery. I meet you where you are while supporting movement toward meaningful change. -
