If you have tried "diets" but find yourself frustrated, let's try a different approach.

I’m a registered dietitian with a private practice that supports individuals struggling with eating disorders, chronic dieting, and body image issues - for the folks I work with, food feels hard. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space for all individuals to share and process their experiences - my style is warm, accessible, and not without humor. I regularly integrate nutrition science with body-based (somatic) practices and therapeutic coaching to help my clients learn to nourish themselves from the bottom up, with confidence.

I work collaboratively with patients to cultivate a healthy relationship with both food and body, one that supports disease prevention while still allowing for enjoyment, flexibility, and balance. I recognize that each individual’s path to wellness is unique, and I tailor my guidance to reflect these values. For those struggling with disordered eating, I offer compassionate, evidence-based support to help rebuild trust with food, reconnect with internal hunger and fullness cues, and develop a more intuitive approach to eating that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being.
