Relieving yourself from the restraint of diet culture and disordered eating is scary. I’m hoping that if you’ve arrived at my about me page, you’re ready to take a leap and learn to live in alignment with your body!

As a dietitian, I believe that you are the expert of your own body. Unfortunately, disordered eating patterns may have created distrust between you and your body. Together, we will build trust between you and your body by reducing food anxiety and shame, re-establishing and relearning appropriate appetite cues, and learning how to honor your body's nutritional needs.

Disordered eating behaviors can develop to help us cope with anxiety, trauma, shame, fatigue, dysregulation, oppression, hypo/hyperstimulation, and more. Together we’ll explore the physiological role disordered eating has provided, and nourish your body so that it can emotionally and physically withstand these storms. I also understand that if your eating disorder has supported you, it can be intimidating to work with a Dietitian who directly challenges it. My objective is to provide stable, structured support that will challenge your ED but in a friendly environment that makes both food and recovery approachable. I love tying gastronomy, food anthropology, neurobiology, and physiology into sessions to expand your relationship with food. We will work hard, have breakthroughs, and actually have some fun along the way.

Many individuals also fear that “nutrition counseling” will involve shaming around their culture, identity, bodies, or food preferences. You are the expert of your body and my ultimate goal is to give you the skills and permission to experience both pleasure and nourishment from food. To ensure doing so, I’m keen on working from an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and weight-inclusive lens.

Eating disorders can come in many different forms and develop alongside other issues such as neurodivergence, mood disorders, IBS, GI issues, food allergies, PCOS, and more. Your treatment plan and goals will be tailored to your individual needs to help you heal your relationship with food. By the end of our time working together, your eating patterns will feel stable, you’ll feel more confident in feeding yourself, and will find a newfound freedom from food.
