I am a Registered Dietitian (RD) with a Master’s in clinical dietetics, and specialize in eating disorders and body image recovery work. 

I strive to guide my clients through the process of healing their relationships with food and body. I practice from a Health at Every Size and All Foods Fit model and value the multitude of ways in which food can serve us, including those separate from biological nourishment. I am passionate about my pursuits to grow and diversify my education to best support my clients and intentionally create a safe and judgment free space for individuals to learn and grow within.

I work best alongside clients who desire to build confidence and trust in their bodies, welcoming adolescents and adults, neurodivergent individuals and those seeking gender affirming care. My areas of focus include, but are not limited to the following:

• OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders)
• Anorexia Nervosa
• Bulimia Nervosa
• ARFID (Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder)
• Binge Eating Disorder
• Intuitive Eating skill building and support

I acknowledge the importance of individualized treatment and look forward to getting to know how to best support your unique needs.

In my free time you can find me working my way through the restaurants of Seattle, enjoying nature in the mountains by foot or by bike, listening to an audiobook, or cozying up in front of my television. I am eager to connect!

I am a Certified Nutritionist and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach with a passion for helping my clients improve their relationship to food and prioritize their well-being in a gentle and sustainable way. I take a collaborative approach with my clients; integrating coaching and nutrition education to help them build attainable goals. My intention is to meet each client where they are at and find creative ways to help them make positive changes to their health. 

I received a Master’s degree in nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon and have completed additional certifications in health coaching, intuitive eating counseling, women’s health nutrition and eating disorders.

Previously, I have supported clients with infertility and PCOS at Seattle Reproductive Medicine as well as pre-and postnatal clients in private practice. Additionally, I have experience supporting families with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children through my work as a nutritionist for child care centers in the greater Seattle area.

My Areas of Focus Include:

• Anorexia Nervosa
• Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
• Disordered eating in adults and adolescents 
• Family Based Treatment (FBT) for adolescents with eating disorders 
• Intuitive Eating 
• Women’s Health (fertility, hypothalamic amenorrhea, PCOS, pregnancy)

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, long walks, yoga, tending to my growing plant collection, and cooking meals to enjoy with loved ones.

My passion for integrative medicine and whole foods nutrition has evolved throughout my life and career. Like many of my clients, I grew up learning from various outlets that wellness should look and behave a certain way. After learning the transformative impact of integrative functional nutrition through my education at Bastyr University, and witnessing the shame, confusion, and damage that can come from a narrow approach to health through my work with clients, it has become clear to me that one size does not fit all. 

With a Health At Every Size approach, I aim to guide clients to uncover any imbalances within their health through an evidence-based holistic lens. I employ the power of science, mindfulness, and intrinsic motivation to propel my clients toward their goals. I feel my success as a functional medicine nutritionist comes from my ability to empathize with others. I honor every person’s needs and personal relationship with food. My goal as a nutrition counselor is to dismantle the belief that a person has to fit a certain mold and empower my clients to believe that they are worthy of nourishing and loving their own unique body.

To fully understand and integrate mindfulness into my practice, I am currently working on becoming a certified mindful eating practitioner through The Center for Mindful Eating.

My Areas of Focus include:

• Disordered Eating
• Mindfulness and Mindful Eating
• Stress Management
• Digestive Issues – Microbiome Imbalances, IBS, IBD, Celiac Disease
• Metabolic Conditions – Diabetes, Prediabetes, Heart Health

When I am not in the office, I can be found playing with my cat, reading romance novels, walking/jogging around my neighborhood, and cooking with my partner. I am a big enneagram nerd and love discussing and guessing people’s personality types.

I am a functional medicine nutritionist that helps my clients make lasting and positive change toward a healthier life. I provide individuals with the essential tools to strengthen and recover from illness and develop a nourishing relationship with food. 

Believing that food is a powerful medicine, I infuse evidence-based nutrition with the healing power of simple whole foods into your nutrition care plan. Food is personal, and no one way of eating works for everyone. My approach to nutrition is holistic in nature: I look at each individual as a unique being with distinct innate and personal needs. My focus is on long-term positive transformation through offering client-centered nutritional counseling, education, mindfulness tools, and emotional awareness. With the goal of achieving optimal health, I seek to motivate and empower my clients to not only lead a self-fulfilling healthy lifestyle, but also achieve a relationship with their bodies and food that is nourishing, flexible, peaceful, sustainable, and balanced.

My Areas of Focus include:

• Disordered Eating
• Body Image
• Relationship to Food
• Mindful Eating

I hold a Master’s degree in Whole Foods Nutrition and Research from Bastyr University. Before returning to private practice, I directed a brain-health focused nutrition teaching kitchen, while cooking with and counseling families to treat a variety of cognitive and neurological disorders (Alzheimers, dementia, and cognitive impairment). I also worked as a health coach for a Seattle-based wellness company, honing my skills in integrating and translating comprehensive blood, genetic, hormone, and gut microbiome data to generate evidence-based and personalized plans for my patients focusing on all aspects of preventative health, including digestion, healthy aging, sleep and stress management in addition to nutrition and physical activity. I have worked as a culinary nutrition instructor, personal chef, and in professional kitchens throughout Seattle.

I am also a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I am a member of the Academy for Nutrition and Dietetics and the Center for Mindful Eating. I have 15+ years experience working in the nutrition field in the areas of inflammatory diseases, blood sugar management, metabolic disorders, child and family nutrition and culinary education. 

In my personal time, you can find me at barre class, biking around Seattle, playing frisbee with my dogs, dancing around my kitchen while cooking up a new seasonal recipe from my home garden, and savoring dark chocolate.
