Background
I began my career as a Registered Dietitian with a focus on treating children and adults with eating disorders in treatment centers; and almost 9 years later, I continue to love what I do! I enjoy providing care in the outpatient setting and establishing compassionate relationships with clients. It has been very rewarding to venture out on my own , and use the foundation I have built through the years to do so!
I strive to support, educate and learn from the people I work with. I am a food lover, and hope to help people regain their own appreciation for food while respecting their bodies. I travel often, and my favorite part is experiencing culture through food.
In our work together, expect us to talk about food, receive light education as needed, and explore your food beliefs more deeply. I firmly believe all foods fit, intuitive eating works, and am working against diet culture. I’ve seen and experienced the power and toxicity of diet culture, and provide care with weight inclusive/HAES® philosophy. My approach is to meet you where you are at in your journey and assist you as you take steps towards your goals and food freedom.

Approach
With my career centering around mental health and disordered eating treatment, I have loved and continue to love helping people find their way back to balanced nutrition and enjoyment of food. My personal journey in the matter has helped me understand and empathize with individuals currently struggling to find this. My approach as a clinician is to remain straight-forward, but personable. I respect your goals in our work together, and recognize that we can both learn from each other!
