Background
Hi, I’m Skylar! I’m a registered dietitian who helps people build a more peaceful relationship with food and their bodies while supporting their overall health and nutrition needs.
Maybe you’ve spent years dieting, feeling guilty after eating certain foods, or constantly thinking about your weight and what you should or shouldn’t eat. Maybe you struggle to trust your hunger, feel the need to compensate for what you’ve eaten, or feel like you’re never doing enough to eat “right.”
And maybe you’ve wondered whether your struggles are serious enough to ask for help. You don’t need an eating disorder diagnosis or have to wait until things get worse to work on your relationship with food. If food or body image concerns are affecting your daily life, you deserve support.
How I can help
Together, we’ll work on challenging rigid food rules, navigating body image concerns, building consistent eating habits, and finding practical ways to nourish yourself without guilt or striving for perfection. My goal is to help you make food decisions you can trust, so food takes up less mental space and you have more room for the rest of your life.
I also work with individuals looking for support with general nutrition, sports nutrition, and medical nutrition therapy. With a background in clinical and renal nutrition, I can help with nutrition-related medical conditions, navigating dietary recommendations, and meeting your nutritional needs while managing your health. Whether you’re looking to improve your relationship with food, feel more confident in your everyday eating, support your workouts and recovery, or manage a medical condition, we’ll find an approach that fits your needs and your life.

A little about me
Outside of work, I love coffee walks, trying new restaurants, Pilates and yoga, and spending time with my Great Dane, Zeus. I believe food can be nourishing, social, comforting, convenient, and fun—and that it deserves to be about more than nutrition.
