Background
I have been a practicing dietitian for over 20 years. In that time, I have helped people from all walks of life achieve their full healthy potential. My motto is “making friends with food”. I specialize in: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), food intolerances including MCAS and histamine intolerance, ARFID and food solutions for neurodiverse individuals including ADHD and Autism, POTS, anti-inflammatory diets, and vegetarian and vegan lifestyles. I am certified through Monash University to teach the low FODMAP diet and an approved member of the OutList. I practice a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community, and I support gender affirming care.
I live in Columbus, Ohio with my partner and our two cats. I love animals, so if you have a pet in the room during our call, I’d love to see them! I play koto and lap steel guitar, and I love the arts, especially music, books, collage, and film. I have a deep love of nature and enjoy being outside, kayaking, hiking, foraging. I’m a world traveler, having lived in Nagoya, Japan in my 20’s, and the most unique destination I have travelled to was Benin, Togo, and Ghana.
I also struggle with chronic pain from EDS and Endometriosis. I’ve had my own challenges with IBS, migraines, food intolerances, dysautonomia, misdiagnoses, medical misogyny, and more. I have a deep empathy and understanding for those of you who also struggle with your health.

Approach
I believe that all people deserve a peaceful relationship with food, so I am happy to be your food detective and advocate. You will learn to nourish your body and find stability while eliminating cravings, restrictions, and diet rules. Sessions will be focused on food, but may include learning gentle movements, breathwork, stress management, dietary supplements, and referrals to other health professionals. You will always receive personalized, evidenced-based care. I only work with adults.
