My name is Rose (she/her) and I am weight-inclusive, Health At Every Size™ (HAES™) aligned, Registered Dietitian in Bend, Oregon specializing in eating disorders care. Eating can be complicated, stressful, and overwhelming. My goal is to help you develop a positive relationship with food, movement, and your body so that you can fully participate and feel present in your life. I am fiercely passionate about providing equitable care for all humans. Every single body is welcome here. Talking about food and bodies is tough, and I strive to provide a compassionate and safe space for you to start exploring what it might be like to fully feel free.

I am a fat-positive, LGBTQ+ affirming therapist practicing through a Health At Every Size® and Body Trust® lens. I help clients heal relationships with food and body, process weight stigma and trauma, and navigate identity shifts in midlife, such as perimenopause, menopause and beyond. My integrative, trauma-informed approach supports self-trust, body neutrality, and emotional resilience.

I offer individual and family therapy to adolescents and young adults (14+) who are experiencing eating disorders, chronic health and or disability, pain. I utilize Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness based stress reduction for chronic illness. I am particularly passionate about those who have experienced medical neglect and aim to provide a space that feels safe for working through feelings and conflict. My practice is fat-positive, anti-racist, queer affirming, and grounded in disability justice. If you are interested in learning more, please visit my website, or reach out for a free consultation!

Are you looking to make peace with food, quiet the food noise, and relearn how to trust your body again? You’re in the right place! I help clients break the cycle from feeling out of control around food to experiencing peace with food and within their body. I have had my own journey of recovery and I am passionate about helping others experience the same freedom. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration & scientific insight. Working together, to stop the punishment, diet cycle, and stress about food to discover what way of eating works best for you and your body.   I specialize working with adults seeking nutrition guidance for eating disorder recovery, PCOS, ARFID, gestational diabetes, and pre & postnatal nutrition.

Abri Radically Open DBT is a full fidelity RO DBT clinic for the treatment of disorders of over-control including Anorexia Nervosa. All clinicians (including a dietician) have been intensively trained in RO DBT. We also offer treatment in other modalities including ACT, EMDR (among others) and have a specialist on site in misophonia. We are a diverse group of clinicians who strive to make this treatment available to all who might benefit. We offer individual therapy, nutrition therapy and RO DBT classes for both adolescents and adults.

My practice centers those who are queer or questioning, have experienced trauma (both single event and complex), eating disorders, body image disturbances, gender dysphoria, those who struggle with anxiety/depression, and those are trying to figure their new season of life. Therapy is a vulnerable process based upon your desires, therefore I strive for all therapeutic decisions to be done collaboratively, consent driven, and with anti-oppressive frameworks at the forefront. I believe that you have the answers within you, we just may need to do work to uncover them. I utilize a technical eclecticism approach when working with clients, which means I employ a variety of techniques such as DBT, ACT, IFS, EMDR, and harm reduction. My counseling foundation is rooted in person centered, humanistic and feminist theories. I strive to create a collaborative and autonomous environment for my clients. Being a person who has experienced trauma, oppression, and the subsequent mental health issues that can arise from these issues can create feelings of not being safe in the world. While I acknowledge that individual therapy cannot fix systemic issues, I hope that the space we create together can create at least one pocket of safety for you.

I am currently working in private practice, and I'm an OBLPCT approved clinical supervisor. I specialize in anxiety management, body image repair, chronic illness, and communication strategies. I have felt called to advocate for clients, and providers outside of the therapy room, so I volunteer with COPACT as their current president. I have past experience in community behavioral health, and working with Adults in Custody. In my free time, I love spending time with my dogs, and volunteering with local rescues, as well as appreciating our local wineries.

I hold a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree from Antioch University, a CACREP accredited program. Major coursework included individual counseling, group counseling, counseling theories and skills, human development, social and cultural diversity, crisis counseling, understanding addiction, diagnosing mental health disorders, assessment of mental health disorders, human sexuality, and gender affirming care. I am registered with the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor – I (CADC-I) and with the National Board for Certified Counselors as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology and Psychology from Portland State University. As a Professional Counselor Associate, I am currently supervised by Selin Strait, LPC, CHT, and Tever Nickerson, LPC. I have direct experience working with adolescents with eating disorders in a residential setting as an intern as well as experience working with adults with eating disorders in an outpatient setting. I completed an internship and worked for three years in a residential and outpatient setting with adults with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. I have worked with patients who struggle with a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, interpersonal conflict, parenting stress, grief and loss, and navigating life transitions. I see my job as a therapist as being a supporter of your work to know, grow, and use your own wisdom and strength to move toward your goals. I am also aware of how power, privilege, and oppression can affect our work together. I invite discussion around this and seek to lessen the impact of any imbalance. My goal is to empower you as the client to have choice and autonomy in our work together. My approach is a combination of multiple methods. I tend to think about cases through the lens of biopsychosocial, existential, attachment, and person-centered theories. In terms of skills, I lean toward dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). More importantly, I like to see what works for you as an individual and adjust the ideas and skills I bring into our sessions to fit your needs.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment used to treat complex, multi-diagnostic individuals with a wide range of behavioral health concerns such as eating disorders, suicidality, self-harm, substance use disorders, and difficulties in emotion regulation. Portland DBT Institute offers three levels of adherent DBT treatment: enhanced skills training (skills-only groups), standard outpatient DBT, and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). The Eating Disorder IOP (ED-IOP) at Portland DBT Institute is a 16-week program specifically designed to provide comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for individuals battling eating disorders, including anorexia, ARFID, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other disordered eating behaviors. This program is grounded in DBT, which has been proven highly effective in helping individuals develop healthier relationships with food, body image, and emotional regulation. The ED-IOP is an excellent fit for adults and young adults struggling with disordered eating behaviors who may need more support than traditional outpatient services or are transitioning to the community from a higher level of care.
