About Danielle (she/her)
Hi, I’m Danielle! I work with individuals who are navigating ADHD, Autism, disordered eating, body image concerns, or some combination of these experiences.
If you've worked with a dietitian or naturopath before and left feeling rushed, judged, or expected to overhaul your meal plan overnight, I want you to know that my approach is very different. Before we talk about potential modifications or strategies, I take the time to genuinely understand your unique sensory profile and how your neurodivergent traits shape your relationship to food and eating. I understand that a recommendation that ignores these important pieces isn't actually accessible or sustainable for most of us. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all meal plans or quick fixes, and I opt instead for incremental change that feels rewarding, attainable, and accommodates your unique needs.
I also understand that the aftermath of intensive treatment such as CBT or Family-Based Treatment (FBT) can leave people feeling unsupported once that structure ends. If that's been your experience, or if you've had a difficult history with eating disorder treatment, this space is built with you in mind.
My approach is holistic, client-led, and radically neurodivergence-affirming, as well as 2SLGBTQ+ affirming. I prioritize cultural humility and collaboration, and I meet you exactly where you are each session, not where a treatment plan or checklist says you “should” be.
I love travelling and planning Disney trips.
My Approach to Care
I combine my expertise as a dietitian with a neurodiversity-affirming approach that honours your unique needs, challenges, and strengths as I help you build a better relationship with food. Rather than ignoring or trying to change the neurodivergent traits that shape how you experience eating, I focus on finding strategies that help you nourish yourself in a way that meets you where you are.
Nutrition counselling with me isn't about handing you a meal plan and sending you on your way. My work often includes:
Reducing food-related anxiety at meals, rather than focusing first on what or how much you eat
Sensory-informed food exploration: expanding what feels safe to eat at a pace that respects your sensory experience, without pressure or forced exposure
Practical, executive functioning-friendly systems for meal planning, shopping, and cooking that accommodate your brain rather than overwhelm you
Support with interoception: building awareness of hunger, fullness, and other body cues that can be harder to access
Mindfulness practices tailored to how you actually experience food and your body
Play and game-based interventions for food-related anxiety
Continued support after intensive prior treatment
Collaboration with your other providers: therapists, occupational therapists, and/or physicians, if desired
I will never place blame on you for these challenges, because I understand why they exist. Instead, I work alongside you to build self-compassion, and I adapt my approach as your needs and preferences evolve.
Baking brings me joy.
