Approach to Care
Riley’s approach to care is rooted in developing a strong rapport with the client and making client’s feel safe and heard. Per her nutrition philosophy, Riley believes in care that is a mutual conversation where a client can have a say, as this will lead to more sustainable, long-term progress; additionally, Riley practices from a non-diet and Health At Every Size (HAES) perspective for all clients, regardless of diagnosis. Riley prioritizes individualized treatment, tailoring interventions to meet clients developmental, financial, physical and emotional needs. Riley enjoys being creative in their interventions, utilizing DBT, somatic body-based processes, interactive experientials, and hands on activities. Ultimately, Riley strives to be a conduit between you and improving the relationship you have with food.
What to Expect
Your first session with Riley will be spent getting to know more about you, your relationship with food and your specific goals. Riley's top priority is to meet you where you're at and form a collaborative relationship, so learning more about where you are starting and who you are as a whole person will help make sure your care is optimal and trauma-informed.
