I offer a free new client meeting to help you determine just that! This 15-minute phone call provides you an opportunity to learn 1) if my nutrition style is a fit for you and 2) whether your specific health need is something I can support you with. We can also discuss any questions you may have regarding fees, insurance, frequency of care, etc.

During our first session, I will obtain an extensive health history, including current nutrition patterns, lifestyle habits, and one's relationship with food. We will discuss your long-term health goals, identify initial ways to address these, and review ways I will support you throughout the process.

Our initial appointment will be 75 minutes and follow up appointments will be 50 minutes. Nutrition counseling is an investment for the long-term. I truly believe that making sustainable health changes is possible but getting there takes time and practice. As such, I recommend weekly appointments to start with the option to reduce the frequency of visits based on individual progress. This will be something we will discuss throughout our work together.

Yes, I am currently in-network with BCBS IL PPO and Blue Choice PPO plans. If you are not in-network, you may request a superbill to submit to insurance for reimbursement purposes. A superbill does not guarantee payment for services. You will be responsible for payment of the full cost of services at the appointment time.
