I can't believe how far I've come! I went from being afraid of eating a single bite of food outside of my rules, to enjoying fun foods with friends and family! I feel so much freedom.
I am a Registered Dietitian with over a decade of experience located in the DC metro area.
I provide nutrition counseling through a non-diet and intuitive eating lens. That means I do not believe in diets or restricting food from our bodies.
I've helped hundreds of people improve their relationship with food, recover from eating disorders, and uncover how nutrition can best serve their health and lifestyle, by supporting my clients through realistic and sustainable behavior changes.
Empowering people to trust their bodies and find food freedom is one of my passions. Let's take this journey together!
This is a free 15 minute call for me to learn a bit more about you, answer your questions, and ensure we are a good fit for your nutrition needs.
During this initial session, we will do a deep dive into your relationship with food and how it affects your life.
We will work together towards your big-picture goals by breaking them down into small, specific, measurable steps, that add up to food freedom.
Food no longer controls my every thought! I live my life, and food is just part of it.
My office is located at 10560 Main Street, Suite 410C in Fairfax, VA 22030, easily accessible from I-66 and Route 50.

I work with clients throughout Fairfax County, Northern Virginia, and the greater Washington DC Metro area, both in-person and virtually.

I provide nutrition therapy for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, orthorexia, and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED).

I don't believe in rigid meal plans. Instead, I help you rebuild trust with your body and develop sustainable eating patterns that work for YOUR life.
Only if it's medically necessary and you consent. Many clients choose blind weights or no weights at all - it's your choice.
Recovery is unique to each person. Some clients work with me for 3-6 months, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll figure out what's right for you.
That's okay. We'll meet you where you are. My role is to support you, not push you into something you're not ready for.
In Virginia, "Registered Dietitian" (RD/RDN) is a protected credential requiring a bachelor's degree, supervised practice, national exam, and ongoing education. "Nutritionist" is not a regulated term.
I don't prescribe diets or focus on weight loss. Instead, I help you develop a peaceful relationship with food based on intuitive eating principles and Health at Every Size (HAES).
