Krissy in particular honed her nutrition counseling skills working in eating disorder recovery, and focuses on helping her clients explore and strengthen their relationship with food.

Approach to Care

She will explore your motivation for health change and barriers to meeting your needs. Krissy will then work with you to develop personalized initial goals and discuss how nutrition counseling and education can help move you toward meeting these goals.
