Here’s my experience & approach -

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics from Rutgers University. I completed a dietetic internship with a concentration in nutrition education and counseling from Saint Elizabeth University.

Over the past decade of my career, I have worked in a variety of settings including both clinical work in hospitals and outpatient work in private practices. I have spent the past 4 years at Beyond Therapy & Nutrition Center providing nutrition therapy to those struggling with eating disorders, breaking free from diet culture and working through body image concerns. I feel such gratitude to be here working alongside and supporting my clients each and every day.

I have provided annual workshops on working as an anti-diet dietitian to the Hopewell Valley Central High School’s sports medicine class for their annual career day.

My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental and collaborative. I can appreciate the toughness of this work, welcome ambivalence into the room and I do not believe in higher-level-of-care ultimatums. I strive to always be an advocate alongside my clients as part of their team (alongside their other professionals they may have i.e. therapist, psychiatrist, primary care physician and/or other specialists). I work to honor my client’s intersecting identities, holding space for how they have shaped my client’s experiences and how they show up in this world.

I am always seeking to learn more from folx with differing identities to understand those with different lived experiences than my own. I have most recently participated in small group trainings for gender affirming eating disorder care and anti-racism education.

I work to help clients reduce shame around their eating and eating-related behaviors and to acknowledge and challenge the harmful body hierarchies that exist within our society. I strive to provide a safe enough space for clients to use as a means to explore healing and to find their authenticity to allow their true self to thrive.
