Hello

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who uses my background in nutrition, psychology, and biology to support individuals in optimizing both their mental and physical health. With a deep passion for helping others build sustainable relationships with food and their bodies, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults recovering from eating disorders and/or disordered eating.

 

I began my academic journey with earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Biology from Clarke University. While attending school and playing collegiate basketball, I was fascinated by the power of performance nutrition, psychological aspects of eating behaviors, and the emotional connections to food. Recognizing the importance of nutrition in supporting both mental health and physical performance, I pursued a second degree and earned a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I then continued to earn my Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Northern Illinois University where I also completed my dietetic internship and earned a certificate of graduate study in eating disorders.  

​

I have experience working with individuals in inpatient, PHP, IOP, and outpatient settings. I combine science-backed information with a mind-body approach to healing, helping bust diet culture myths and reconnect with their intuition. I follow a non-diet approach to nutrition, guided by the principles of Health at Every Size® (HAES) and the philosophy of "All Foods Fit." I believe in empowering clients to trust themselves and their bodies, allowing them to create a healthier, more balanced approach to food and exercise, self-care, and overall well-being.
