My Philosophy of Care
I aim to provide affirming care and create an open, inclusive space where your lived experiences are heard and valued. I am here to guide your nutrition journey with compassion, clinical experience, and evidence-based care.
I have been practicing from a Health at Every Size® lens since 2018. I have seen how effective and empowering this framework can be with my clients. I continue to learn and grow. I acquire information from my clients' lived experiences, leaders within the fat liberation community, eating disorder professionals, and neurodiverse health professionals. I also receive clinical supervision. As a dietitian, I strive to listen to and validate my clients. With my clients' consent, I can provide clinical experience and research. If my client desires, it is also within my scope to advocate for my clients within weight-centric spaces.
About Me & My Practice
I decided to be a dietitian when my Girl Scout troop had a dietitian as a guest speaker when I was about 12 years old. Coming from a dieting family, I was very interested in weight science during my education. During my Master's Degree, I noticed how the research literature showed that weight-based interventions were ineffective long-term. I started diving into HAES®. I started to learn about the harm caused by weight-centric healthcare. From here, I started to learn about the Intuitive Eating framework and became a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I continue to learn and grow to find frameworks and ideas that best support my clients and the fat community. Outside of work, I am a mother and wife. I enjoy eating delicious food (especially if someone else has prepared it)! I also enjoy gardening and watching movies. I strive to live a life that prioritizes connection and presence.
