About

Hi there! I'm a Registered Dietitian with a passion for helping people build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food—whether that means supporting recovery from eating disorders, fine-tuning performance nutrition for athletes, or diving into the latest nutrition research. With years of experience in the eating disorder field, alongside deep dives into sports nutrition and clinical research, I blend science with a human-centered approach (and a good dose of real-life practicality). My goal is always the same: to make food feel less stressful and more supportive of the life you want to live!

My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and grounded in the belief that all bodies are worthy of care. I've worked in a wide range of settings - from treatment centers and university athletics to labs and lecture halls - which gives me a unique lens on how nutrition, psychology, and performance intersect.

I'm especially passionate about helping folks navigate the messy, often confusing world of nutrition with clarity and kindness (and maybe a little humor, too). Outside of work, you can find me exploring the mountains or cheering at a local race. If you're looking for a supportive, science-savvy, and down-to-earth guide on your nutrition journey, you're in the right place!

What it's like working with me

Your session with me: my approach is direct but flexible and is guided by a loose structure that leaves room for curiosity, education, and adaptation

My energy: bubbly, upbeat, and warm; I try to radiate positive energy into each session

Outside of the office: I'm a mom to a busy toddler and devoted dog parent, which means my days are equal parts chaos, laughter, and love. When I'm not chasing little feet or throwing a slobbery ball, you'll find me running or reading

Fun/meaningful fact: I'm a very poor cook for a dietitian - but I make up for it with enthusiasm, humor, and appreciation for those who can follow a recipe.
