Dr. Riddle completed her residency training in Psychiatry at the University of Washington, where she served as Chief Resident, and subsequently pursued a fellowship in Consult Liaison Psychiatry. She is also a Courtesy Clinical Instructor with the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, where she enjoys teaching and supervising residents.
With a longstanding passion for eating disorders, Dr. Riddle's PhD thesis investigated the effects of dietary restriction on anxiety-like behavior, contributing to our understanding of the neuroscience behind eating disorders. During her residency, she developed an eating disorder curriculum that she now teaches to residents, fellows, medical students, and attending physicians, aiming to enhance provider awareness and improve patient access to treatment. Dr. Riddle is particularly committed to increasing inclusivity in eating disorder research and treatment and has published several articles on gender diversity in this field.
