Her goal is to help her clients find strategies to nourish their bodies and see food as an act of self-care and a joyful experience.

Are you seeking clarity in the complex nutrition-health space? Perhaps you've tried various dietitians, diets, or treatment programs, yet lasting peace with food and self still feels out of reach. You might feel disconnected from your body, carrying years of shame and self-blame, but still desire to feel 'at home' within yourself. Your goals echo a desire to mend your relationship with food and exercise with alignment that is rooted in internal trust and understanding, not external validation. True healing and happiness can't be found in another diet; it's an embodied journey back to self—safety and self-compassion intertwined.

Food is a daily part of life, and unfortunately for many, a daily challenge as well. For parents, it can be painful and nerve-wracking to watch their children deal with nutritional challenges of any kind. I help pediatric and adolescent clients build confidence with food, fostering independence and self-care. I specialize in play-based exposure therapy and education through the practice of culinary nutrition. In our sessions, we won’t just talk about food, we’ll make it. I help clients and their families to build practical culinary skills they can immediately apply in the home.

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.

Acupuncture has become a highly popular form of complementary health care because of its relatively low cost and its noninvasive nature. In this gentle form of medicine, I design each treatment uniquely to address imbalance as it is specifically experienced by each individual. Symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of a person in order to explore the root cause of an illness or discomfort.
