Illinois

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with 10 years of experience working with individuals and families. I have a compassionate, non-diet approach that acknowledges the many factors that influence health. I believe every person deserves to have a healthy relationship with food that leaves space for all the other joys in life.

My Approach
In our work together, I will help you find freedom from the constant worry about food. Together we will work to give you the tools to listen to your body’s intuitive wisdom to know what you need. Based on your life circumstances and your goals we will work to define health in a way that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. I utilize a non-diet approach to health which emphasizes the way your body feels.

As a patient turned provider, I’ve been there, and I know one size does not fit all.

I am a highly motivated and passionate dietitian, with experience working in the eating disorder field at all levels of care. My expertise is in providing evidenced-based and trauma-informed care through methods such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and crisis de-escalation. My personal philosophy embodies a non-diet approach to nutrition. I practice through a weight neutral and health at every size® lens while promoting mind and body balance. I utilize intuitive eating, motivational interviewing, and compassion-based techniques to support behavior change. When working with kids with eating/body issues, I work closely with parents either individually or in family sessions with the client. I've seen the positive impact parents have by participating in their child's care on a frequent basis. Eating disorders are incredibly challenging and I never want a parent to feel alone when supporting their child.
