Nutrition That Works With Your Brain, Not Against It

Neuro-affirming care for ADHD, Autism, & ARFID. We ditch the standard food rules to build a sensory-friendly strategy that respects your executive function.

Welcome! If you've been looking for nutrition support that actually honors the way your brain works, you've found a safe space.

Traditional nutrition approaches often fail neurodivergent people—they demand rigid routines, ignore sensory needs, and mistake executive function challenges for a lack of motivation. I am a Neurodivergent Dietitian dedicated to working with your unique neurotype, not against it.

My practice specializes in providing compassionate, personalized, and neurodivergent-affirming care for adults with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence who are seeking food peace and better health.

ARFID Dietitian & Sensory Needs Support

I recognize that for many neurodivergent adults, eating challenges are deeply rooted in sensory differences, anxiety, and interoception (difficulty perceiving internal body signals).

If you are an adult seeking an ARFID Dietitian, my approach centers on understanding your sensory preferences and executive function challenges, not simply restrictive eating patterns. I believe that true healing comes from a place of respect and collaboration.

ADHD Meal Planning & Executive Function Support

The challenges of ADHD and autism often intersect directly with daily nutrition. Things like executive function—planning, initiating tasks, and managing time—can make consistent eating feel impossible. I provide non-shaming support for ADHD meal planning help non-diet and executive function challenges.

We focus on creating simple, sustainable systems tailored to your energy levels

Trauma-Informed Nutrition for Neurodivergent Adults

Many neurodivergent folks have experienced medical trauma, misdiagnosis, or the trauma of masking their authentic selves. This greatly impacts the relationship with food, body image, and trust. My practice is rooted in Trauma-Informed Nutrition, recognizing that past negative experiences—particularly with medical systems or attempts at food control—deeply impact your present choices. I work from a place of respect, safety, and mutual collaboration.

Virtual Sessions: Accessible Care That Meets Your Needs

As a virtual nutritionist, all appointments are held online. This is often the ideal setting for neurodivergent clients, as it eliminates travel stress, manages sensory input, and allows you to attend sessions from the comfort and safety of your own space.

We can also check your eligibility to see if virtual nutrition counseling services are covered by plans like Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and United Healthcare.
