I am an anti-diet Registered Dietitian at Restored Purpose Counseling seeing clients virtually. I work alongside individuals with a variety of eating disorders and disordered eating, namely ARFID, binge-eating, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and orthorexia. I utilize a Health-at-Every-Size approach and allows me to use a weight-inclusive lens by looking at the whole person. I have experience using exposure-response-prevention to help decrease anxiety and fear with certain foods.
If I had to describe myself in one saying it would be an outgoing introvert. I am a Tampa local and you’ll find me in my free time cooking a new recipe or playing cozy video games with a candle, blanket, and of course – fuzzy socks. My favorite beverage is a Dirty Chai, which I think reflects my personality. Take the excitement from espresso, the warm, cozy flavors from chai, and you get a unique blend.
My passion stems from helping individuals fall in love with food, or fall back in love. I don’t think there is a better way to understand a person’s history or culture without considering the food and their relationship with food that they had growing up. For me, it’s the stories shared regarding food that can
paint a picture. I implore you to get curious, what drives you to eat the food you eat?

Licensed Dietitian
RD, LD
I’m a Registered Dietitian at Restored Purpose Counseling. I am licensed in both Florida and Georgia and I see clients virtually. I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating, as well as anyone who is tired of dieting and wants to have a more peaceful relationship with food and their body.
I take a non-diet and weight-inclusive approach when working with clients and I feel that our counseling relationship should be collaborative. It’s important to me to listen to your lived experience. I use the principles of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size® when working with clients and I believe that all foods can be part of a healthy diet.
When I’m not working you can usually find me hanging out with my dog Wally. I love reading and spending time outside, especially hiking. I am also passionate about travel and I can’t wait for my next international trip.

I’m a Registered Dietitian, nutritionist based in South Carolina with licensure in Florida and South Carolina. My passion lies in helping individuals cultivate a healthy relationship with food by embracing food neutrality. My primary focus is eating disorders and disorder eating, utilizing a non-diet, weight inclusive approach. Through motivational interviewing and intuitive eating principes, I aim to create a supportive space where all foods can fit. My goal is to partner with you on your unique nutritional journey, fostering collaboration and empowerment.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my three Australian Shepherds and anything that allows me to enjoy the outdoors. Whether I am riding my motorcycle, reading a new book, or exploring local artisan markets on the weekends, I’m always seeking new experiences. My favorite food Is ice cream, and I’ve even commemorated my love for food by tattooing my favorite food on my arm.
I am deeply committed to challenging diet culture and helping others see that food can be more than just nourishment.
