“I appreciated having a dedicated and safe space to discuss my insecurities about disordered eating and body image. I always felt validated and free to express my concerns without guilt or shame. I gained significant clarity during my work with Ivory. Some key concepts that stood out to me include how my disordered eating habits contribute to my mental health issues and learning to recognize overwhelming emotions and their connection to neglecting my basic needs.

The most unique aspect of working with Ivory is how tangible she makes recovery feel. She transforms the overwhelming process into manageable goals, allowing you to see and feel your progress along the way. I would recommend Ivory's services to a friend. Working with her is one of the best decisions you could make, as she creates a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. My time with her truly changed my life.”

“Sometimes it is important for teens to talk and hear from someone besides their parents to realize the importance of the message. We can't tell you how often our son has said, "Mom, Ivory said the same thing but somehow when she says it, it makes sense".

Trust in Ivory's process. She is really good at connecting with your teen while keeping the parents in the loop. She wasn't just the Dietitian for our son, she was able to hear his concerns, challenges, as a teenager and an athlete to guide him towards making better food choices while also helping him with improving his image about himself. She brings a very personal touch to the care, is very responsive and available to answer questions. She is proactive in working with the parents along with the primary care physician to ensure all the support network are working towards a common goal. Ivory’s method of bringing parents along and making them feel part of the solution was unique.

There were two things that stood out for us about Ivory: First, her ability to connect directly with our teenage son both on the nutritional needs but also as an athlete. This helped gain his trust and his willingness to try to follow her guidance. Secondly, she accommodated our concerns and feedback as part of the overall therapy and kept us in the loop throughout the journey. This helped us feel like we are part of the solution.”

“Ivory displayed dedication to supporting our daughter. She clearly had knowledge and expertise that helped her and us. We appreciated the chance to talk about and better understand our observations and interactions with our daughter. It was easy to make and change appointments. We learned how best to support our daughter on her path to eating disorder (ED) recovery, including how to reinforce strategies that were working for her. Ivory helped us identify and understand patterns in her behavior.

Ivory has knowledge and experience working with young girls recovering from an ED, and her approach demonstrates caring but firm/resolute support.”

“I appreciate Ivory’s entire essence - her compassion, kindness, patience, validation, and intention. The safe space she created for me in our sessions provided a source of unconditional comfort and security where I was able to be my most vulnerable self with her and discuss topics I generally have a hard time letting myself tap into. Ivory showed me that I had someone on my team rooting for me and believing in me. I started meeting with Ivory when I was at a very low point in my life, and throughout our work together, the tools Ivory provided me with, and her unwavering support, I gained so much clarity on the relationship I had with myself and my own self-worth. I was able to start loving myself again. I have never had the same experience with any other therapist I've worked with in the past, which goes to show how invested Ivory is in the work that she does. 

Ivory cares so deeply for her clients, which will be evident from the very beginning of working with her. You will gain valuable insights on nourishing your body, loving yourself, and recognizing your own wins with her help and guidance, and feel safe and supported through every step of your journey. Ivory’s active and engaged listening during our sessions, and the insights and validation she has provided me with, were instrumental on my personal journey with my self-esteem and self-image. I don't believe it's a specific unique approach Ivory takes, rather more to do with who Ivory is and the way she shows up and holds space. I am forever grateful for these attributes of hers.”

“I came to Ivory, full of anxiety. I felt powerless and desperate for change in my life. I had so many fears and negative narratives about my body and possibilities for my life rolling around in my head that I couldn’t hold on my own anymore. 

Ivory listened and met me where I was at with information, insight, and invitations to implement new practices. Ivory leads with deep care, integrity, and intentionality. As a Black queer mother, I’ve been able to talk about how racism, capitalism, sexism, and ableism impact my life and understanding of myself. 

Ivory’s been an integral part of my healing journey and I’ve learned SO much information and practical tools that have helped me build a more balanced relationship with food, movement, my outlook on how my body looks, and what’s possible for my life and relationships. 

I cannot recommend Ivory enough to people seeking support with their relationship with their bodies. You’d be in knowledgeable and capable hands.”

“Ivory has been instrumental in my work around disordered eating, but beyond that, she has helped me shift my whole thought process and relationship with food, nutrition, and self-care. She's just an incredible resource; her knowledge and application of it has been very enlightening.

I look forward to chatting with her each week and come away from our sessions with constructive steps and a positive attitude. One of her biggest strengths is her ability to create a very comfortable and safe space to talk.”

— Former Client

“Ivory taught me so much and improved my life for the better in so many ways. Every time I leave a session with her, I feel like a load has been taken off my chest. Ivory consistently creates a safe space for me to discuss how I am feeling and says all the right things to provide encouragement and rid me of any guilt that I feel around my choices. I'm so grateful for Ivory and the work that she does!”

"Really wonderful working with Ivory! She gave me space to talk through my feelings about food, but also gave me actionable things to work on!”

“Love how thoughtful Ivory is, I can tell she is present in every session. She is well-spoken and I love how she ties mental, physical, and emotional well-being into our hunger cues and our perception of food.”
