About

Do you feel constantly stressed around food? Are you (understandably) overwhelmed by the ever-changing nutrition advice you see online? Do thoughts about food, your body, or exercise take up too much space in your mind? If so, you're not alone—and I'd love to work together. I work with adults of all identities (LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, etc.) and I specialize in helping people rebuild a peaceful and trusting relationship with food. My passion for this work comes from my own history of disordered eating. After fully recovering, I was amazed by how much space opened up in my life for creativity, relationships, and joy. That experience shaped my belief that so much of what we're taught about weight and health is simply not true. My approach is weight-neutral and rooted in Health at Every Size® (HAES). Health isn't defined by body size, nor should it look like 'chicken breast, white rice, and broccoli' for every meal. Cultural foods, comfort foods, and fun foods all have a place in your life. My goal is to help you reconnect with your body's innate wisdom so food decisions feel grounded—not stressful or 'high stakes.' While I specialize in eating disorders and disordered eating, I also support people with general health concerns like heart health, digestive issues, and blood sugar balance in a weight-inclusive, shame-free way. I bring the nutrition expertise; you bring the expertise of your body and lived experience. Together we'll build sustainable changes that honor your body, your culture, and your goals. I also love working with athletes. As a triathlete myself, I've learned firsthand how deeply nutrition impacts performance, energy, and recovery—whether you're training for your first 5K or an endurance event, I'm here to help you fuel in a way that feels empowering, not obsessive. When I'm not working, you can find me outside mountaineering, trail running, or cold plunging. I love reading, watching Netflix in Spanish, and ending the day with a sweet treat.

What it's like working with me

Your session with me: You can expect a gentle, grounded approach where I focus on the challenges that come up in your week to help guide us. My energy: warm, non judgemental, and supportive. Outside of the office: I love the outdoors, from paddleboarding to mountaineering, and I enjoy reading a mix of fantasy and educational books. Fun/meaningful fact: I love a good sweet treat after dinner and view all foods as welcome.
