Background
Having gone through my own healing journey, I know what it is like to struggle with not knowing what to eat and having unknown medical issues doctors can't diagnose. When I was a teenager, I struggled with anxiety, gut issues, and food intolerances which were all symptoms of chronic inflammation.
After seeing the impact diet and lifestyle had on myself, I became a Registered Dietitian (RDN), Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). I follow an intuitive and holistic approach to nutrition counseling. Each session is customized to the individual.
During sessions, I help clients develop a positive relationship with food and their bodies while also optimizing health. I follow the philosophy of 'health at every size' and take in all aspects to wellness (mental, emotional, physical).
\
I currently have a virtual a private dietetic practice focusing on nutrition for adolescents and their families as well as adults. My previous work experiences were in behavioral health hospitals and inpatient eating disorder clinics and hospitals.I believe most health issues (mental and physical) are a result of a disconnection from the body. Your body knows more than anyone else could. I also host wellness retreats and yoga classes for all ages in order to guide people back to listening to what the body is already telling you.
**Note: If you are requesting an appointment for eating disorders, I require a direct contact number (work cell) to your PCP or ED doctor (not the office number) and therapist. I can help you with referrals to both if you do not have one at the time of our appointment.

Nourishing our bodies should be enjoyable. However, that is not always everyone's experience.

My specialties include, eating disorders, disorder eating, eating for mental health, plant-based nutrition, intuitive eating, food intolerances/allergies, and overall wellness. In addition to private practice, I host wellness retreats and teach yoga.
