Worried about you Child’s eating?

I have extensive experience in working with parents who are concerned about the nutritional status, weight and health of their child.  I teach parents how to take responsibility for what they provide for their children and to support children in taking more responsibility for learning to regulate and respond healthfully to their internal cues for hunger and fullness.

I help parents to normalize their family eating style and to remove much of the angst surrounding food and body issues at home. This education and coaching early on can help prevent the onset of disordered eating in their children later in life.

Instead of doing counseling sessions with young children I most often coach parents in what and how to feed their kids, and how to deal with the many body image issues that arise in children today. In this model, both the parents and the children benefit without the young child ever having to feel that he or she is the patient.

My goal is to work with your child's pediatrician and any other involved professionals to create a unified approach that is best for your child and your entire family.
