I hold a B.S. in Nutrition and am a Working Against Gravity (WAG) Certified Coach. But beyond credentials, I’m someone who deeply understands the internal battles many of my clients have faced.

During college, I struggled with an eating disorder for several years. That season shaped my life in ways that are difficult to fully put into words. It was not simply a challenge with food, but a complex and often isolating experience involving fear, control, distorted self-perception, and the exhausting mental noise that can accompany body image struggles.

Living through that reality gave me a level of empathy that no textbook ever could. I know how consuming those thought patterns can feel, how heavy the shame can become, and how confusing it is when something as fundamental as eating feels complicated or stressful. I also understand the courage it takes to pursue a healthier relationship with food and with your own body.

My decision to study nutrition was born from that experience — not from a fascination with rules or plans, but from a sincere desire to understand, to heal, and eventually to help others navigate similar struggles with compassion and clarity.

If you’ve ever felt at war with food or your reflection, you are not alone — and change is absolutely possible.
