Clinical Expertise Meets Compassionate Care
With a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from New York University and clinical experience in hospital, residential, and outpatient eating disorder treatment settings, I understand that meaningful recovery requires more than a meal plan.
My approach integrates evidence-based nutrition interventions, Health at Every Size® (HAES®) principles, trauma-informed care, and a collaborative, multidisciplinary treatment model.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your adolescent, or a loved one, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered throughout the recovery process.

Exceptional Service, Exceptional Experience
ABOUT
Meal Support
Meal times can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. With structured meal support, I’ll guide you through the process of eating with ease, helping you reduce anxiety and develop confidence in your food choices. Whether you’re struggling with portioning, second-guessing what’s on your plate, or simply need encouragement to follow your plan, I’ll be right there to provide gentle accountability. This service is especially helpful if you’re working toward a healthier relationship with food, managing disordered eating patterns, or practicing new skills. Together, we’ll make meals less stressful and more nourishing, so you can focus on enjoying food and feeling comfortable in your body.
ABOUT
Grocery Shopping Support
Navigating the grocery store can feel confusing, especially with so many mixed messages about what’s “healthy.” With grocery shopping support, I’ll join you—either virtually or in person—to help you make choices that align with your goals. You’ll learn how to read labels without stress, explore new foods, and find practical solutions that work for your budget, preferences, and lifestyle.
Whether it’s reintroducing challenging foods, choosing balanced options, or simply gaining confidence in the aisles, this service takes the guesswork out of shopping. My goal is to help you feel empowered, not pressured, so your time at the store becomes an opportunity to practice mindfulness and nourish your body with intention.
ABOUT
Individual Counseling
Your nutrition needs are unique—so your care should be too. With individual counseling, we’ll take a closer look at your goals, challenges, and overall lifestyle to create a plan that feels both realistic and sustainable. This one-on-one service provides space to discuss everything from meal patterns and nutrition education to mindset and habits around food. We’ll work together to address concerns like stress eating, food rules, or dietary restrictions while also supporting your overall well-being.
Each session is personalized to you, giving you practical tools, accountability, and compassionate support. The goal is not just to “follow a plan” but to create lasting change that helps you feel, more confident, and more at ease with food.
