My Philosophy of Care
I use a Health at Every Size® (HAES®) and Intuitive Eating framework. My approach is rooted in body neutrality, prioritizing overall well-being, without a focus on weight. Rather than fixating on numbers, I encourage fostering positive connections with food. My sessions are client-centered. You know your body best therefore I am here as a supporting hand.
I founded Embrace Nutrition with the purpose of individuals having a safe and non-judgmental space to develop healthier relationships with food & their natural body size. I specialize in binge eating disorder but work with all diagnosis and eating challenges. My goal in our work together is for you to feel empowered. The constant messages from diet culture are exhausting and confusing. I take time to listen & learn so I can be a partner to you in this journey.
Embracing one's body, nourishment, and unique journey are fundamental principles that guide my approach as an eating disorder dietitian.

About Me & My Practice
I live in Virginia with my husband and baby boy. My choice to enter the field of nutrition originates from my personal journey of overcoming struggles with food and my commitment to challenging and deconstructing diet culture. I have worked in various levels of care for eating disorder recovery as a dietitian and clinical director.
I grew up in rural Virginia and still get excited that I live close to a Target these days. When I am not seeing clients you can find me navigating being a new mom, watching BRAVO TV, & reading my kindle.
I am a proud NICU mom, and my experience navigating a traumatic birth and the neonatal intensive care unit has given me a deep sense of empathy for other parents facing similar challenges. These experiences have inspired my passion for supporting new parents as they adjust to the ups and downs of the perinatal and postpartum period. As a provider with Postpartum Virginia, I’m honored to combine this work with my expertise in eating disorder recovery, recognizing the important connection between mental health, body image, and the life-changing journey into parenthood.
