GET TO KNOW ME
I’m a St. Louis native and a dietitian with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents and adults with eating disorders. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition from Tufts University and am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, a soon-to-be Certified Eating Disorders Specialist through IAEDP, and a registered yoga teacher.
My approach to eating recovery blends practical nutrition education with self-exploration. This often includes exploring the different eating disorder “parts” — the protective patterns that can feel both helpful and harmful — through Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also draw from Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders, a body-based therapy that supports safety, regulation, and reconnection with physical sensations. This integrative style allows me to address both the physiological and emotional aspects of healing, helping clients build a more peaceful and connected relationship with food and their bodies. I practice from a size-affirming, trauma-informed lens, grounded in Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating.
​
I came to this work through my own recovery journey and am passionate about dismantling diet culture, restoring joy in eating, and empowering clients to reconnect with their bodies. Outside of work, I’m a mom of two, and a devoted reader who loves getting lost in a good book. I enjoy walks, coffee, TV, and delicious food.

"Food is personal, and it takes courage to talk about it. I am interested in cultivating more brave space for us to talk about the food and body issues that matter most to you. Together, we can change a lot."
