I am NOT here to be the food police, or tell you everything you are doing wrong with your eating. I started KT Nutrition with the goal of helping my clients challenge their negative beliefs about food in order to reestablish a healthy relationship with their own body. Our body is our most powerful ally in determining what and how much we need to eat, and unfortunately modern diet culture attempts to sever this relationship with shakes, pills, and other unhelpful "lifestyle changes". I believe that we reach our own optimal health and happiness when we are in tune with what our body needs, not what society tells us it needs.

I help folks heal from perfectionism around food and their bodies so they can live fully nourished through fertility, pregnancy and beyond. I’m a strong believer that your body is wise, and that tuning into your innate wisdom is powerful. I want to help you find that power through reconnecting to your body, and with a little nutrition science along the way, reach your reproductive health goals and ultimately live your best life. I believe nutrition should be truly holistic - which means it takes into account your mental and emotional health too.

I discovered my passion for healthy eating, cooking, and balanced nutrition while in high school, and then went on to receive my undergraduate degree in dietetics from The University of Maryland, College Park. I then fulfilled my supervised practice in the field through my internship with Rutgers University. I started my journey as a dietitian in clinical care with an acute care hospital, where I gained invaluable experience with medical nutrition therapy that I can take with me to my current clients in the private practice setting.

Whether you’re trying to restore weight and health after anorexia, bulimia, or chronic undereating -- or to abandon dieting, lose excess weight, and keep it off -- I’m here to help. I'll provide a clear, personalized plan and encouragement so that you can pursue whole health, free from anxieties about food and body. I can also provide guidance on how to heal from common medical complications of being under- or over-weight, including low bone density, digestive distress, menstrual dysfunction, or impaired glucose tolerance / diabetes.

Food is a daily part of life, and unfortunately for many, a daily challenge as well.

I help pediatric and adolescent clients build confidence with food, fostering independence and self-care.
