I’m a Registered Dietitian specializing in eating disorder recovery, rebuilding a healthy relationship with food, and supporting active individuals and recreational athletes experiencing chronic underfueling and RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport). I work with clients navigating binge eating, restrictive eating, chronic dieting, body image struggles, and inconsistent fueling patterns that impact both mental well-being and physical performance.
My interest in this work is deeply personal. In 2016, while navigating hypothalamic amenorrhea and a complicated relationship with food, I experienced firsthand how confusing and discouraging it can feel when your body no longer seems to respond the way you expect — especially when you are active and trying to take care of your health. At the time, I was training regularly but unknowingly underfueling, which contributed to hormonal disruption and a growing sense of distrust in my body.
Working with a dietitian who truly listened and helped me understand the role of adequate fueling, energy availability, and consistent nourishment was a turning point. Instead of focusing on restriction or rigid rules, we worked on rebuilding trust in my body and establishing more sustainable patterns with food and movement. That experience shaped not only my own recovery but also the way I practice today.
As a dietitian, I understand how complex the relationship between food, body image, and physical activity can be — particularly for active individuals. Many of the clients I work with are runners, endurance athletes, or recreational exercisers who feel caught between wanting to maintain an active lifestyle and wanting to heal their relationship with food. Others come to me after experiencing symptoms of RED-S or chronic underfueling, such as fatigue, stalled performance, difficulty recovering from workouts, or menstrual cycle disruption.
My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, supported, and understood as they navigate these challenges. Whether someone is in eating disorder recovery, working through disordered eating patterns, or learning how to fuel their body more consistently for training, I aim to meet them with empathy and curiosity.
Recovery and rebuilding trust with food is rarely a linear process. I believe that with the right support, education, and compassion, it is possible to develop a more peaceful relationship with food while continuing to live an active and fulfilling life.

My Approach
My approach to nutrition counseling is collaborative, weight-inclusive, and rooted in non-diet and intuitive eating principles. I believe that sustainable change happens when we move away from rigid food rules and instead focus on consistent nourishment, body awareness, and developing trust in your body’s signals.
In our work together, we focus on building practical, flexible nutrition habits that support both your physical and emotional well-being. Rather than prescribing strict meal plans or unrealistic protocols, I help clients develop patterns of consistent fueling, balanced meals, and adequate energy intake that feel manageable in everyday life.
A large part of my work involves supporting active individuals and recreational athletes who are unintentionally underfueling. Chronic underfueling can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, poor recovery, stalled performance, hormonal disruption, and RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport). Together, we work on gradually increasing energy availability, improving fueling around training, and helping your body feel supported rather than depleted.
At the same time, we address the psychological side of food and movement. Many clients struggle with food guilt, anxiety around eating more, or fear that improving their relationship with food will mean losing their athletic identity. These concerns are incredibly common, and they deserve thoughtful attention. Our work often includes exploring beliefs about food, performance, and body image while developing a more balanced and sustainable approach to both nutrition and exercise.
I aim to create an environment where clients feel safe asking questions, expressing concerns, and moving at a pace that feels manageable. Recovery from disordered eating and rebuilding a healthy relationship with food is a layered process, and progress often comes through small, consistent steps over time.
