Do the words: Freedom, Empowerment, Inclusivity, and Compassion resonate with you? And want to experience these feelings with managing your type 2 diabetes, weight loss, and emotional eating?

I became a Registered Dietitian because I am passionate about food, wellness, and helping others. My passion for nutrition strengthens each and every day, as I grow and gain further knowledge in the field. Throughout the last few years, I have broadened my horizons when it comes to the nutrition field. This has allowed me to grow and realize where my passions lie in the nutrition world. Over the past few years, I have helped countless clients of all ages achieve their goals - whether that be weight loss, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol - you name it, I've treated it!

I work with adolescents and adults who are hoping to build a better relationship with food and their bodies. I spent 7 years working in a facility that provided inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient treatment for people healing from eating disorders; thus I have extensive experience helping people build skills and break down barriers so that they can reclaim their relationships with food. In my private practice, I have worked with clients who are healing from eating disorders, and those building new relationships with food having struggled with disordered eating, chronic dieting, and eating issues in general.

Cultivating a positive relationship with food and your body can be really tricky in this society, especially when we are constantly surrounded by diet culture, as well as weight stigma. Recovering from an eating disorder, disordered eating, and/or body image issues can feel like a near impossible feat when trying to navigate it on your own. A supportive, weight inclusive, non-judgmental space can be the key to finally ditching the food rules and negative self talk which keep us feeling trapped. I am passionate about helping individuals of all body sizes nurture a positive relationship with food, movement, and their bodies.

Are you struggling with the idea of healthy eating and how to even begin to approach it? Do you often see the phrase "eat clean"? Does it make you feel confused? Are you struggling with certain health conditions? Is it affecting the relationship you have with your body? With conflicting information from multiple sources, it feels imperative now more than ever to clear up misconceptions about food, and proceed to help others from a professional standpoint who spend a lifetime attempting to find solutions through the ambiguity that marketing strategies of various media outlets instill into the public.
