Registered Dietitian
Our goal is for you to walk away with the confidence to eat, move, and live the way you want to!
Connect your Mind & Body
At Actualize Counseling, we believe it is possible to find food freedom and body acceptance through connection with your whole self.
Evidence-based care
Our clinicians use the latest research to inform therapy and nutrition recommendations.
Holistic Approach
We take into account all aspects of you as a person: intersectionality, family and relationship dynamics, and medical and psychological history.
Highly Skilled Team
Our therapists and dietitians have collectively 50+ years of experience treating mental health and nutrition challenges and have received specialized training in eating disorder treatment.
How can our services help you?
We take a thorough look at your personal history, acknowledging the connection between mind and body, to best determine which treatment approach and clinicians are best suited for your needs. Whether you are focused on eating disorder recovery, healing from trauma, or improving body image, we will help you address immediate concerns while providing tools for long term success.
Emotional Neglect and Trauma
Early childhood experiences and unresolved trauma can cause us to feel stuck in our progression. Our services incorporate a comprehensive approach that enables our clients to process and heal from these wounds. We support our clients as they put together the missing pieces to their life’s puzzle.
Controlling and Compulsive Behaviors
In our attempts to alleviate our pain, we may try to cope through unhelpful compulsive habits and rituals. We help our clients identify and evaluate the current tools used for self soothing, while incorporating new strategies that produce long term outcomes.
Whether it’s compulsive habits, obsessive thoughts, or controlling tendencies, our
compassionate approach aims to empower individuals towards healthier patterns of
behavior and thinking. We offer a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore
the root causes of these behaviors and develop coping mechanisms that lead to self
progression and healing
Disordered Eating & Compulsive Exercise
Through personalized treatment plans, we help clients develop a healthier relationship with food, exercise, and their bodies. Our goal is to foster self-acceptance, resilience, and sustainable lifestyle changes, empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives aligned with their values as they journey towards lasting recovery.
Self Awareness & Self Acceptance
Do you struggle with being kind towards yourself? Do you find it difficult to identify your core needs and understand your feelings? Our services help you build greater self awareness by listening and honoring your intuitive needs. As well, to learn how to incorporate the principles of self-compassion and self-care.

To Provide Comprehensive Quality Care
What clients are saying
My therapist has a way of bringing clarity to my feelings and emotions in a way that helps me connect them to my triggers. He uses clinical terms and describes them in a story form that helps me understand in a deeper way.

My therapist has been a tremendous help with self-compassion and radical acceptance. They have helped me navigate overwhelming negative thoughts by giving me resources to refer to. These reminders allow me to be more independent in my self-improvement journey.

Working with my dietitian was such an amazing choice for me. She opened my eyes to the backwards-ness of my thought process, and opened me up to caring about more than the amount of fat on my body. Over the course of a few months, she helped me reintroduce various foods into my diet that I have always loved, but was restricting.

The thing that has helped me get to where I am today is listening to my dietitian, being opened minded, and accepting her small challenges she had for me. I would NOT go back to a life of restricting even if I was being paid and promised a Kardashian body, no matter how tempting it may be! This new freeing life of eating has made me so much naturally happier. It has also affected how I see life in other non-food-related ways. In general, I am easier on myself in all aspects of my life.

When I began seeing my dietitian, I was fully expecting her to confirm that I was indeed being “bad” and then tell me what I needed to do to fix myself. However, it was quite the opposite. She was non-judgmental, supportive, kind, and could also relate to what I was saying. I learned about the fundamentals of a balanced meal, and that a balanced meal should have a fat, carbohydrate, and protein. She provided helpful visuals and lists of meals and snacks I could easily follow at home.
