"I just want to be able to eat and not feel guilty about it but I also want to feel good in my body." Does this sound familiar? Does it feel like you're either fighting a battle with food or fighting a battle with yourself?

I pride myself on being described as warm, authentic, and fiercely devoted to what I am passionate about: helping you! I support adults and adolescents (13+) struggling with disordered eating or eating disorder recovery. I have a particular interest in supporting athletes and clients who engage in dysfunctional exercise. My counseling style is one that works with you, not against you. My role is not to lecture at you, but team with you on a foundation of shared expertise. You, as the expert of your own life. Me, as the nutrition expert.

Nearly a decade into my dietetic practice, I know the recipe for success. I’ve worked with clients perplexed with weight loss and weight gain alike.

Are you tired of being confused about what to eat? I'm here for you! As a nutritionist that has practiced for nearly twenty years, I have seen a lot of fads come and go. And I have worked with so many of you who have come to me unsure about which fad was “right”.

I first discovered acupuncture while completing my pre-reqs with the intention of attending medical school at UW - I was struggling with migraines that Western Medicine was incapable of helping me with. An Acupuncturist was able to help me live a migraine free life what I couldn't have previously imagined was possible. I simply fell in love with the medicine and altered my course to pursue my Masters in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Fast forward 14 years, I still love the medicine and am thrilled, on a daily basis, on how I am able to help people improve their lives with a natural, holistic approach to their health.

With the plethora of pervasive nutrition advice and a culture fixated on health and thinness it makes sense to be overwhelmed, frustrated, and hurt by the task of feeding and caring for ourselves. Messages about “good” versus “bad” foods (and bodies) pervade our psyche from the youngest of ages. We are made to believe that there is a path to the perfect body and diet, and that it is just around the corner if we only continue the exhausting pursuit. The diet culture we all live in steals happiness and makes us become distrustful of our bodies. I firmly believe there is another way, a more sustainable approach to food and health.
