Life is full of ups and downs with a variety of challenges and struggles, but food doesn’t have to be one of them. Living in a  culture that values thinness and often places fatphobic beliefs under the guise of “health”, it can seem impossible to have a peaceful relationship with food and body image.  You are not alone in this struggle, and you are worthy of living a life free from diet culture. I am here to help guide you along your journey to a healthy and happy food/life balance. 

My Approach

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. Every client I have worked with has a unique history with food and it’s important for me to understand where you’re coming from and how you got here. I work with clients to unpack their old  beliefs around nutrition and create new, positive experiences with food. With an Intuitive Eating approach, the path to a peaceful and easy relationship with food is possible for everyone. I strive to earn the trust of my clients with compassion and sessions that feel safe and conversational.  Challenging old beliefs and changing behaviors around food can be a difficult process, and I am here to guide you each step of the way. 

My Journey and Education

Born and raised on the east coast in New Jersey, I completed my Masters in Science in Nutrition Education as well as my dietetic internship at Columbia University in New York City. Becoming a dietitian was a no brainer to me, as I’ve struggled with an eating disorder myself and felt driven to help others on their path to recovery. I understand first-hand what it feels like to embark on this journey and I believe that recovery is truly possible for everyone. I have been working in eating disorder treatment centers for the past 3 years helping patients struggling with anorexia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, bulimia, and OSFED. I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and practice with a Health At Every Size approach. I am also a certified yoga instructor and like to practice in my free time. I currently live in Santa Monica, California with my partner and baby boy.

Online Nutrition Counseling

Your time is valuable and having to travel to a dietitian’s office can sometimes be a barrier to getting the support you want and deserve. I use HIPAA-compliant video software that allows you to participate in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Sessions function the same way as in-person nutrition counseling without the added time and cost of travel.
