So, your relationship with food has brought you here, but maybe you’re unsure if what you consider some form of overeating warrants seeking professional help. You don't have to suffer from anorexia and/or bulimia to "deserve" treatment and support. People who are enduring binge and emotional eating are often blamed (by themselves and others) for their use of food. If this is you, you may believe you have no "will power" and your relationship with food/body is your "fault". You aren't yet aware there are reasons (always other than will power) that explain your experience with food/body. You are not to blame. My mission is to help you find relief, so that food is just food again—free of stress and shame. I specialize in the treatment of binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating, emotional overeating, eating addiction, and their related struggles, such as depression. To help you become fully present, and live a life not overshadowed by worry. I believe in harnessing your critical thinking skills to help you create positive change. I'll encourage you to keep asking "why" and questioning thoughts or values to determine for yourself what‘s important (instead of defaulting to what "should" be important). This authenticity and conviction translate to all other areas of life.

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.

Hello! I am Kate, a weight inclusive, non-diet dietitian helping my clients forge a better relationship with food, their bodies, and fitness. I have a Bachelors degree in Applied Exercise and Health, as well as Food & Nutrition and have experience working in higher level of care for eating disorder treatment. My practice is virtual, and I am licensed in both Oregon and Washington, so I see clients all over the PNW! I use an Intuitive Eating framework to help guide my clients toward tuning into their bodies, rather than following rigid food rules or diet nonsense. I especially enjoy helping those who are looking for a healthier and happier way to support their active lifestyle and prenatal/postpartum mamas looking to nourish and care for their bodies.

Hi, I’m Alicia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Oregon. If you’ve found yourself here, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what’s next. I provide a warm, supportive space for adolescents, adults, and families navigating mental health challenges, life transitions, identity, and relationships. I bring empathy, creativity, and even humor into the therapy room, and I’ll gently challenge you when needed. I often use metaphors, real-life strategies, and experiential tools to support insight and growth. My style is collaborative and flexible, grounded in genuine connection. I specialize in eating disorders and have six years of experience in residential treatment for teens, including leadership roles like Assistant Clinical Director and Clinical Director. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and family dynamics. My approach draws from CBT, DBT, Narrative and Experiential Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Structural Family Therapy. I hold a Master’s in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy and an Eating Disorder Treatment Certificate from Lewis & Clark College. Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, traveling, volunteering, and spending time with loved ones—and my three cats. If you're curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. I’d be honored to support you on your path.

As a registered dietitian and nutrition counselor, I partner with people exploring questions and emotions surrounding food and their body.
