Background
In addition to my RD credential - I have a Masters in Education, am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and I have undergone extensive training in eating disorders, coaching theory, and medical nutrition therapy for chronic conditions like diabetes and PCOS. Paired with thirteen years of direct patient experience, I know you will feel in great hands under my care.
I want to know, when food and body image struggles aren’t the center struggle of your life: what joy is waiting for you? I want you to see yourself beyond your weight and size. Most of all, I want you to be able to connect with the people you love – fully and without holding back. To help you get to know me beyond my weight and size, here’s four fun facts about me: (1) I was voted “MOST MEMORABLE” in high school (2) I’m TERRIFIED of inchworms. Even the emoji freaks me out 🐛 (3) My last meal would absolutely be my Nonna’s chicken cutlets and pasta (4)I love historical fiction! Any TV show, movie, or novel that fits this category - send it my way.
I wanted to become a Dietitian because food has a unique way of touching our lives. Yes, it is fuel. But it is also a way for us to connect, share culture, recieve comfort, experience new things, feel good in our bodies, and take joy out of life. I know the way that generational diet trauma can block you from fully experiencing food because I saw it in my own family growing up. I think we can be the last generation to experience food guilt, and, become better role models to those around us. As a result of working with me, I want you to get all the benefits food has to offer, in whatever way is most important to you.
