I developed a passion for helping individuals struggling with eating disorders when I started my career at a residential treatment center, where I worked for several years both as a dietitian.

I have been a dietitian for 14 years, all of which have included pediatrics to adults. I have worked at two children’s hospitals as well as outpatient settings. Diabetes has been an interest of mine since the beginning so I pursued an advanced certification as a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I especially enjoy working with insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors. I became a dietitian after playing sports throughout my life and becoming a runner as an adult. Heart disease runs in my family and I took a special interest in improving the food choices of those around me to improve their health.

I'm inviting all individuals who need a fresh start to their recovery. A fresh start looks like: needing to work through challenges that still remain from previous eating disorder treatments; an introduction to that body of yours who has been waiting to be "friended" by you; wanting to know how very different a nourished brain behaves and finally- meeting a hybrid dietitian who safely, wisely helps you eat, move and live in a body that's hungry for change.

My approach is to empower you to make sustainable changes for your health! That can take many forms, including developing meal planning skills, giving accountability for balanced meal choices, examining your own beliefs about food and diet, and understanding the why and how behind common diet advice. Eating should not be a chore or an obligation, but allow you to live your life to the fullest. I want you to have a kind and beneficial relationship with food. Now that’s the ideal end goal, but I recognize it can take some time to get there. If we don’t shy away from the work, I believe together we can reach that place a little sooner!
