About Me

I specialize in supporting clients who struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating, and mood disorders. I’m a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Supervisor through the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals. I’m committed to a non-diet approach and inclusive care.

I was born and raised in New England. I earned my degree in Nutritional Science from the University of New Hampshire in 2008 and completed my dietetic internship there the following year. In 2010, I moved to Chicago, where I’ve worked at all levels of care in the treatment of eating and mood disorders. I held a Nutrition Program Directorship at a premier behavioral health center, providing direct client care while also helping to develop and manage programs at the residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels of care.

A few years ago, I transitioned to working in an outpatient setting, where I’ve been able to focus on providing individual nutrition counseling and leading support groups.

In my free time, I like to visit the lakefront with my dog, Ginger, who often joins me for my virtual sessions with clients, quietly sleeping (or not-so-quietly snoring) in the background. I feel most at peace in nature. This is reflected in the pictures I’ve taken and shared with you across this site. I also enjoy crafting, especially knitting, sewing, beading, and embroidery. You may also find me reading historical fiction or listening to anti-diet podcasts.
