Background
I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient clinical settings as a dietitian. I completed both my bachelor’s degree and my dietetic internship at California State University, Chico, where I most enjoyed and thrived in my nutrition counseling and education courses. I was also a NCAA cross country and track athlete and have experience working with athletes too. What I love most about being a dietitian is the relationship I get to build with my clients. Whether you decide to work with me through a life threatening eating disorder or because you are ready to stop dieting and learn how to eat again, you will feel validated and safe when working with me. I am compassionate and warm and I want to hear your unique story about your complex relationship with food. My mission is to help people of all shapes and sizes discover peace with food, exercise and their bodies.
Although I work with clients of all faith or no faith backgrounds, one of my areas of expertise is Christian member care. When integrating faith, I take a client-centered approach and honor the client’s lead in spiritual emphasis.
