About Sarita
(she/her/hers)

Sarita believes in helping each client learn, develop, and apply skills to find a balanced relationship with food, and live their best life. Working from an Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size® lens, she uses effective listening, empathy, open  communication, and humor to connect with her clients, and strives to create a supportive environment where clients can find autonomy and confidence.

 

Sarita believes in the power of small steps and how they can build lasting, lifelong change. As part of supporting her clients,  Sarita also enjoys collaborating with clinicians from multiple disciplines, and she recognizes the  value of a team-based approach to providing client care and support. 

 

Early in her career, Sarita worked at the residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive  outpatient (IOP) levels of care, and she has significant experience working with clients with eating, mood, and anxiety disorders. She has enjoyed the ability to continue this work for years in the outpatient setting, too. Building long-term relationships founded on strong connection and  rapport is really important to her.

 

Sarita also has an interest in sports/performance nutrition and has experience working with athletes and physically active clients. She also has experience working with those needing special dietary accommodations, clients needing support around  body image, and folks with general health and wellness needs.
