Biography

I have been indirectly working toward becoming a Dietitian for over 10 years! With my varied and unique professional and education experiences, my nutrition expertise is paired with a background in psychology and various professional roles including social work, restaurant management, and eating disorder treatment. Incorporating validated theories such as Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating, I approach nutrition with a holistic and inclusive perspective. I am passionate about helping people on their journey toward food freedom, reconnection with their bodies, and the pursuit of health and wellness.

I recently joined the incredible team here at Connections Wellness Group as their first Registered Dietitian. I also recently accepted the position of Director of Nutrition and Wellness and have had the opportunity to create and implement the first nutrition services offered here. I currently conduct individual nutrition counseling and group education courses as part of the PHP/IOP program for clients ranging from ages 11 to 99. I also offer individual nutrition counseling as an outpatient Private Practice Dietitian. I plan to become a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian in the future!
