Nutritionists and Dietitians near Knoxville, TN

After years of battling my own eating disorder, hormone dysfunction, mood disorders, and chronic fatigue, I have learned the importance of nourishing my body through nutrition and managing my stress. I believe our bodies desire to heal when we slow down and give ourselves time and patience to figure out the root cause of our issues. I am passionate about helping others take their health back into their own hands, learn how to eat for their body, and find food freedom in a world plagued by diet culture.

As a dietitian at Focus Integrative Centers, I work with individuals seeking to improve their health, by leaving behind disordered eating, restrictive dieting, & food rules in order to rediscover their intuition surrounding food & body. I take a non-diet approach with you, integrating intuitive eating & mindfulness in our counseling to help you build a healthy relationship w/ food. Whether you need an individualized meal plan, a safe space to discuss a disordered relationship with food, or simply meal preparation & grocery list ideas, together we can work on setting realistic goals to help you build a positive relationship w/ food.
