Health Professionals in Illinois
I have over 12 years of experience working in higher levels of care, serving in roles ranging from Diet Technician to Director of Dietetics and Nutrition Services. I’ve had the opportunity to work across a variety of therapeutic settings, which has deepened my understanding of the many treatment modalities available. This background has also strengthened my belief that nutrition plays a vital role in healing, and that each individual deserves a personalized approach to care. I practice from a HAES and weight inclusive framework. I strive to practice with cultural humility and to be a trauma informed provider.

I'm inviting all individuals who need a fresh start to their recovery. A fresh start looks like: needing to work through challenges that still remain from previous eating disorder treatments; an introduction to that body of yours who has been waiting to be "friended" by you; wanting to know how very different a nourished brain behaves and finally- meeting a hybrid dietitian who safely, wisely helps you eat, move and live in a body that's hungry for change.
