Working with a dietitian offers personalized, evidence-based support that goes far beyond general nutrition advice. It's a chance to receive care that honors both the science of nutrition and your lived experience — because our work together isn't just about what you eat. It's about rebuilding trust with your body, untangling confusing nutrition messages, and finding nourishment that feels realistic and supportive.

I am not currently in-network with any insurance plans. I chose to practice as a private-pay dietitian because it allows me to offer care that is truly centered on you. Without the constraints of insurance, we get to decide together what your care looks like — how often we meet, what we focus on, and how long we work together. There are no required diagnoses, no session limits, and no third party influencing the direction of your care.

I recognize that cost is a real consideration, and I want care to be as accessible as possible. Some clients are able to use out-of-network benefits or a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to offset the cost — I'm happy to provide a superbill upon request so you can submit for potential reimbursement.

I work with adults, teens, and families. Whether you're navigating your own relationship with food, seeking support for your child, or looking to create a more peaceful dynamic around eating at home, you're welcome here.

For families, I often work with one or both parents directly — not just the child. We might focus on easing the mental load of planning meals for multiple preferences and needs, navigating feeding differences, or supporting a child or teen with ARFID or disordered eating. If you're unsure whether my services are the right fit, I'd love to connect on a free Connection Call.

Both really depend on you. Most clients start by meeting every other week, then shift to monthly as things start to feel more settled. Some clients prefer to meet weekly for a period of time, and that's available too. From there, many come back on an as-needed basis — sometimes for the same reason that brought them in originally, sometimes for something entirely new.

Length of time varies just as much. I've worked with clients intensively over a handful of sessions and with others over the course of years. There's no set timeline, and our work together can shift and change as your life does. The goal is for support to match where you actually are — not a predetermined schedule.

I can see clients located in the following states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington.

If you're located outside of these states and are interested in working together, please don't hesitate to reach out. If there is enough interest in a particular state, I'm happy to explore obtaining licensure there.

No — all sessions are held virtually, which means you can access support from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are. Virtual care also allows me to work with clients across multiple states without the limitations of a single location. Scheduling is flexible, and many clients find the convenience of virtual sessions makes it easier to show up consistently and stay connected to their care.

I don't use prescriptive meal plans, calorie counting, or food-tracking apps — and I won't ask you to log or monitor your intake in ways that feel rigid or disconnected from how you actually experience food. My approach is rooted in Body Trust® and Intuitive Eating, and our work together focuses on building sustainable patterns that fit your real life.

That said, practical support is absolutely part of the work. If it would be helpful, I'm happy to share recipes, meal ideas, or simple frameworks that make feeding yourself feel more manageable. We can also work through meal planning and grocery lists together — especially if having that dedicated time and support makes a real difference in your week.

If you are in eating disorder recovery and your treatment team has recommended a meal plan as part of your care, we can absolutely work with that where appropriate. Supporting your recovery and collaborating with your care team always takes priority, and I'm experienced in working alongside other providers to ensure your nutrition support fits within the broader treatment picture.

That's completely okay. Diet culture runs deep, and wanting to lose weight doesn't mean this work isn't for you — it makes you human. Weight loss won't be a focus of our work together, and it won't be used as a measure of success. Instead, we can explore your relationship with your body and what it might mean — or feel like — to shift that goal, at whatever pace feels right for you.

Your body may change during our time together, and we'll approach any shifts with curiosity and neutrality rather than judgment. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

Yes, absolutely. You’re welcome here whether you’re currently taking a GLP-1 medication or beginning to transition off of it. However, our work together will not focus on weight loss.

GLP-1 medications can significantly change how your body experiences hunger, fullness, and digestion. Because of this, it’s easy to unintentionally eat too little or miss out on important nutrients. Over time, this can increase the risk of muscle loss, fatigue, constipation, or other side effects that impact how you feel day-to-day.

Our work together will focus on helping you stay nourished and cared for during this process. My goal is to help you feel steady, well-supported, and confident in caring for yourself, no matter where you are in your journey with the medication.

Trauma-informed care recognizes that past and ongoing experiences shape how we relate to food, our bodies, and healthcare. In practice, it means I won't use pressure, shame, or control — instead, our work together is built on safety, choice, transparency, and respect.

In our sessions, this looks like moving at your pace, being clear about what we're exploring and why, and focusing on what feels realistic and accessible right now. You are the expert on your own body and the decision-maker in your care. I offer guidance and support, but you choose what feels right for your body, your values, and your life.

Yes. I work with individuals in eating disorder recovery, and if you're currently working with a therapist or treatment team, I'm happy to collaborate as part of your care. If at any point a higher level of support feels necessary, I'll work with you to connect you with trusted providers in my referral network. If you're unsure whether my services are the right fit for where you are right now, a free Connection Call is a great place to start.

Yes, and in many ways, pregnancy is a powerful time to deepen your relationship with your body. While Intuitive Eating during pregnancy may look a little different, the foundation remains the same: tuning into your body's cues, honoring its needs, and letting go of rigid rules. There are some additional nutritional considerations during pregnancy, and I'll help you navigate those in a way that feels grounded, flexible, and free from unnecessary stress. You don't have to choose between nourishing your baby and trusting your body — we can do both.

Yes. Navigating fertility treatments can be physically and emotionally demanding, and nutrition support during that time can make a real difference — not as a way to "optimize" your chances or add more pressure to an already stressful process, but as a way to feel nourished, supported, and cared for throughout. Whether you're preparing for a cycle, in the middle of treatment, or recovering from a loss, you're welcome here.

Yes — and I often do. Collaboration with other providers can be an important part of holistic, well-rounded care. With your permission and a signed release of information, I'm happy to communicate with members of your care team, share notes, or coordinate approaches to make sure everyone is working in the same direction.

If you don't currently have a therapist or other support but feel like it would be helpful, I have a referral list of trusted providers — including therapists, doulas, and physical therapists — and I'm happy to help connect you.

Absolutely. My practice provides affirming care for people of all genders. Nutrition and body image struggles don't discriminate, and neither does my approach. Whether you're a man who's never felt like diet culture conversations were meant for you, or a nonbinary or trans person looking for a provider who will respect your identity and experience, you're welcome here.

In the United States, the title "Registered Dietitian" (or RD/RDN) is a legally protected credential. It requires an accredited bachelor's or master's degree, a supervised clinical internship, a national board exam, and ongoing continuing education to maintain licensure.

"Nutritionist" is not a protected title in most states — meaning anyone can use it regardless of their training or background. That doesn't mean every nutritionist is unqualified, but it does mean the level of education and clinical experience can vary widely.

As a Registered Dietitian, I'm licensed in the states where I practice and held to professional and ethical standards. When choosing any provider, I'd encourage you to look not just at credentials but at their approach, values, and whether their philosophy aligns with yours.

You're not alone in that — and I'm glad you're still open to trying again. Unfortunately, a lot of traditional nutrition care has been rooted in diet culture and weight-centric approaches that leave people feeling unheard or like they weren't treated as an individual.

During our Connection Call and throughout our work together, we can talk about what's felt helpful in the past and what hasn't, so we can make sure this experience feels different from the start. A Connection Call is a low-pressure place to begin. You don't have to commit to anything.

If something helps you engage and process in session, we can absolutely build that in — drawing, coloring, or fidgeting while we talk, staying camera-off, standing or moving around instead of sitting still, or breaking sessions into shorter, more frequent check-ins if a full 50 minutes is hard to sustain.

I'm also happy to send written recaps after session if that helps things stick, give advance notice about what to expect so there aren't surprises, or give you space to sit with a question and come back to it next time instead of answering on the spot.

My goal is for sessions to work with how your brain and body actually function, not against it — so if there's a format that helps you show up more fully, just tell me.
