I have been a registered dietitian for over a decade, specializing in helping patients with disordered eating, chronic dieting, binge eating disorder, and body image. My work with patients centers on helping them find peace with food and their bodies through Intuitive Eating (IE). I practice through the lens of Health at Every Size (HAES®), a paradigm that posits that bodies naturally come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and that all bodies are good bodies deserving of respectful care.

As an anti-diet dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, I’m passionate about helping people improve their relationship with food. I am a champion for pleasurable, satisfying food and I believe that you deserve to eat free from guilt and shame. I feel strongly that healthy behaviors aren’t restrictive, and I believe respectful care for all bodies is essential. I recognize that access to adequate food and respectful healthcare are essential human rights.

My goal is to help people reconnect to the needs of their body through self-compassion, curiosity, and the practice of nonjudgmental exploration. My communication style is warm, empathetic and direct as we work to help you build trust in your body and heal your relationship with food.

I believe it is essential to practice inclusive care. I value learning from those with lived experience. I hope to create and provide a space that feels as welcoming and as safe as possible for all.
