Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating

I specialize in helping individuals recover from eating disorders, disordered eating, and the harmful effects of chronic dieting. Eating disorders are complex and can develop to help us cope and survive in a body-oppressive world. Even though eating disorders have one of the highest mortality rates of any mental illness, we're bombarded daily with messages from diet culture that perpetuate body shame and a preoccupation with the thin ideal.

Intuitive Eating

Intuitive eating is a self-care approach to nutrition, health, and well-being that helps people make decisions based on their bodies' inner wisdom and move beyond diet culture. Created by two Registered Dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, in 1995, Intuitive Eating helps you cultivate and honor your hunger and fullness cues, and truly enjoy food again. Listening to your body's inner cues and not obsessing about food is possible! By building small acts of trust, we will practice breaking the cycle of chronic dieting and transform your relationship with food.

Weight-Inclusive Medical Nutrition Therapy

With a focus on personalized nutrition education and a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach, I have experience in a range of areas, including prediabetes, diabetes, binge eating, emotional eating, women's health, life transitions, and more.

Empowering you to create a sustainable space where you are free to explore what your body truly craves without food or diet rules.

KIND WORDS

  • “Charlene has a way of making you feel that you are her only client. That one-on-one care that she delivers is above and beyond. I can be gentle and curious about my body and food. She has helped me to let go of the shame and shown me the cycles that a lot of us go through.”

    Eileen

  • “Healing my relationship with food has had so many whole health benefits and made a daunting diagnosis like diabetes less stressful to think about everyday. Previously I was a mindless eater who always felt guilty and blamed myself for feeling crumby. Now, I strive for satisfaction, eat guilt-free and rarely have upset tummy issues!”

  • “I feel significantly less stressed, worried, or preoccupied with my food choices. And I’m starting to notice that any fluctuations in my body are just that...fluctuations and nothing else. It’s been so liberating not thinking so much about my food intake and instead focus on how my thinking needs to be reframed to fully accept myself.”
