Please note: I see clients as a registered dietitian and not as a therapist.

Accepting new clients! Offering therapy services in Massachusetts (telehealth) and Florida.

“Sapientia” (sap-pen-tcha) is Latin for wisdom. My practice is built on the belief that everyone already has within them the resources to heal, grow, and thrive. Simply put, I use evidence-based interventions – primarily a therapy called Internal Family Systems (IFS) – to help people tap into that innate wisdom. With my support, clients heal themselves.

I’m a Boston-based, New York-raised intuitive eating, weight-inclusive, and functional nutrition dietitian. I offer virtual 1:1 nutrition counseling to guide you through finding a more calm and comfortable relationship with food. I specialize in overcoming disordered eating, supporting eating disorder recovery, as well as finding the root of complex gastrointestinal issues. I practice healing from a whole body, holistic approach, including sleep, stress, movement, and more. This might include extra lab work and testing if that’s something you are interested in!

Beth received her B.S. degree in clinical psychology from Quinnipiac College and her Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston College. She has been a therapist for over 30 years and her areas of expertise include eating disorders, body image, trauma, and adolescent and family therapy. She is Level-One trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and is also trained in Family Based Therapy (FBT) as well as Health at Every Size. She utilizes DBT, CBT, IFS, and ACT in all her work. She describes herself as an eclectic therapist who uses different treatment approaches based on the needs of the individual, couple and/or family. Her therapeutic work focuses on the whole person including their cultural, emotional, physical, familial, spiritual and financial background. She is present and non-judgmental helping clients navigate their way through their life experiences. Beth uses a strengths-based approach recognizing the strengths of her clients and their families and avoids labeling and pathologizing people and their situations. She firmly believes in laughter as a critical element in the healing process and I feels that people can heal and have a better life.

Jean is passionate about body justice advocacy, especially in BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities as a queer 2nd generation Taiwanese American female with immigrant parents. As a former athlete, Jean also enjoys working with clients who want to heal their relationship with movement.

Jean graduated with a BS in Clinical Nutrition and BA in Communications from the University of California, Davis, and a MS in Nutrition and Health Promotion and Certificate in Sports Nutrition from Simmons University. Her field experience was also completed at Simmons University in their dietetic internship program with the Treatment of Eating Disorders Concentration, one of the only comprehensive programs in the nation that provides formal training in the treatment of eating disorders. In a prior role as a diet technician, Jean worked at an eating disorder treatment center and provided meal support for patients at the residential, PHP, and IOP levels of care.

We are overloaded with information about food and exercise, but often struggle to find the wisdom needed to nurture these relationships. To address these issues, I have studied and worked with some of the best athletes, coaches, and teams in the world. I have cofounded research-based programs and initiatives to treat athletes struggling with eating disorders, and aim to distill the knowledge and wisdom needed to translate nutrition and exercise science into practical solutions to help you achieve your dreams. I look forward to hearing about your goals and learning how I can best equip you to develop your own sense of mastery!nI am available for in-person consultations in the Boston area as well as Telemedicine. Sessions can be scheduled at any time of day and on the weekends.

I’m a therapist and nutritionist based in Roslindale with just over a decade in private practice. My approach is rooted in body liberation, fat acceptance, and intuitive eating. This path is the way out of a cycle of body dissatisfaction, shame and guilt, or the “diet rollercoaster”. Together we can work towards living a life free from the confinement of restriction and perfection.

As a nutrition therapist, I believe in the strength and power of a provider-client relationship that is built on mutual respect, compassion, and safety. It is this relationship that serves as the foundation for a collaborative approach to treatment and healing in which we will explore the possibility of interacting with food, eating, movement, and your body in a way that is authentic and driven by your core values.
