The personalized nature of nutrition is increasingly disregarded. Oversimplified concepts and misinformation drive food trends and diet fads. Inequities and social comparisons perpetuate feelings of shame and guilt about our bodies and health status. My intention is to provide inclusive nutrition care that respects and values the complex, unique needs of each client.
I specialize in helping folks who are experiencing disordered eating, especially when complicated by digestive health conditions. When appropriate, I help with weight-neutral, therapeutic diets for medical conditions, like Low FODMAPs for IBS. I also help endurance athletes and ethical vegans to evaluate nutritional adequacy.

About
Report
Before I became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I had a stressful career in finance. I worked long hours, survived on business meals and caffeine, and traveled between Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C. After exhausting all other options, my doctor recommended the Low FODMAP diet. That experience helped me to understand both the benefits and complications that come with this type of recommendation.
What to Expect
Report
Call your insurance plan in order to verify your coverage and benefits for nutrition therapy / counseling. Many clients find it helpful to have a notebook for taking notes, along with a list of questions. Upload any additional paperwork that you feel might be helpful (e.g.food/symptom journal). Nutrition therapy sessions are a time for us to talk about your needs and nutrition goals.
Rates & Insurance
Report
I ask all clients to verify insurance coverage with your insurance company, even if I am a network provider. Coverage depends on your specific plan, not my status as a network provider. For example, I am a network provider with Cigna, but that company typically writes insurance plans that only cover 3 sessions in your lifetime, unless you are diagnosed with an eating disorder by a licensed physician or therapist.
