About Me

I became a registered dietitian in 2011 after completing both my bachelor's degree in food and nutrition and a Coordinated Program in Dietetics at the University of Alabama. I then earned a master's degree in community health education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I obtained my specialty certification as an eating disorders dietitian through the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals in 2021.

Before working in private practice, I was the lead dietitian at an eating disorder treatment facility at the residential and partial hospitalization (PHP) levels-of-care, and
​I served as the dietitian for the outpatient eating disorder treatment team at UAB's Student Health and Wellness Center. Helping individuals recover from their eating disorder truly excites and inspires me, and I can't imagine dedicating my career to anything else.

About My Philosophy

My clients are so much more than their "food problem;" they are people, first. It is my greatest joy to get to
know my clients' perspectives, hopes, values, and goals. Each person has unique food- and movement-related needs that need to be honored, and I love getting
to help my clients discover and learn about those
needs. I believe that all foods fit in to a healthy diet
and lifestyle, and I teach principles of Intuitive Eating. My ultimate goal is to help clients find peace with food and their bodies and take care of themselves well.
My treatment philosophy is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
(ACT). I use a weight-inclusive approach to health
and nutrition, and my focus is and always will be changing behaviors, ​not numbers on the scale.
