I am a weight neutral HAES aligned therapist. I work with parents using Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility, I am trained and certified in Intuitive Eating and am passionate about helping parents raise children who have good relationships with food and with their bodies.

My approach is very much individualized based on the person who is struggling with the ED, especially with adults - what works for one person, may not work for another (for example, the use of a meal plan or not). For kids, typically first follow and encourage an FBT/Maudsley Approach for treatment, supporting the child and/or the parents as needed. Over time I help the child reestablish some independence in their food preparation and intake, and transition back to intuitive eating.

My approach aims to support and empower a peaceful relationship with food and the body. It pulls from years of experience with clients, training in trauma, and motivational interviewing, along with dietetic training. Each client has unique situations and I work with each individually, pulling in family support when appropriate.

My approach is rooted in being an anti-diet, fat-positive, HAES-aligned clinician. Much of my work focuses on supporting people who are LGBTQ+, as I specialize in working with transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary individuals, as well as athletes, who struggle with eating and their relationship with food and exercise. I like to take a diverse approach in treatment, utilizing several theories in order to meet each client’s needs and goals. I draw on psychodynamic and relational orientations while using mindfulness, somatic, and cognitive techniques for emotional and relational healing. My treatment approach is informed by my experiences as a queer, non-binary person, and former athlete.

I am a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about supporting sustainable and peaceful relationships with food. I work with individuals struggling with disordered eating, eating disorders, diabetes management, and general wellness. I practice from a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach to support overall health and wellness. I utilize intuitive eating principles and an all foods fit perspective in my work. My objective is always to meet my clients where they are in their journey and individualize our work together to best support their specific needs. I am inspired by my clients every day to continue growing professionally as a resource and advocate for them!

I believe in an integrative approach to therapy, addressing both the mind and the body. I am committed to providing compassionate care from mindfulness evidence based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Health At Every Size (HAES) to facilitate holistic healing and support each person’s unique needs and goals.

My areas of expertise include the mind/body connection, trauma-informed care, health and eating disorder recovery, stress management and anxiety/depression. In my sessions, we work together as a team. I treat the client as a whole, not a symptom. I believe that you have everything you need to to succeed; I am here to help you access it. Through personalized insight and psychoeducation, we work as a team in developing tools of self-regulation to empower and (re)establish a feeling of security and trust within the body and mind so you can feel confident in your next steps.

Many of my clients come out of therapy feeling confident in taking the next best steps for themselves from a deeper understanding of their authentic wants and needs. They report that they have an easier time sitting with and processing difficult emotions, are more comfortable with themselves both alone and in social interactions, and have a clearer sense of their core values and beliefs. Most importantly, they feel safe, listened to, supported, and seen for who they really are.

I work with individuals across the age span, as well as couples and families. I look forward to the opportunity to connect and partner with you on your pursuit of discovery and self-care.
