I have been a Registered Dietitian for over a decade. I completed a coordinated dietetics program from Eastern Michigan University and began my career as a clinical dietitian in both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. These early years of my career provided me with experience treating a variety of nutrition related medical concerns including gastrointestinal disease, cancer, and diabetes. I listened to the lived experience of the individuals I worked with and learned that nutrition is so much more nuanced than what’s taught in textbooks.

The stories of my patients, many of whom were weary of lifelong dieting and weight cycling, led me to seek out education and training in intuitive eating and a weight-inclusive approach. It was important to me to provide nutrition counseling that was evidence-based, aligned with my personal and professional values, and met the real life needs of my clients.

For the past five years, I have specialized in the treatment of eating disorders. I have experience working in PHP, IOP and outpatient levels of care for adults and adolescents. This work is deeply personal to me as I struggled with an eating disorder as a teen and young adult. I understand the damage caused by diet culture and unrealistic body standards. I also know that a life of recovery and food freedom is possible for every one. Now, as a mother, I am also passionate about supporting parents in promoting a food and body positive home.

I live in Bozeman, Montana with my husband and our two young children. We enjoy hiking, gardening and cross country skiing together. I am a big believer in the magic of hobbies and am currently learning to sew.
