You are most likely to find in my lunch box:
Honestly, I am a huge lover of potatoes (most of my past clients and coworkers are aware of my passion), so likely a meal including a variation of potato. That could be mashed potatoes, french fries, tator tots, baked potato, etc - they are so versatile!
If I were trying to impress my dinner guests, I would make:
Tator Tot Hotdish all the way or a solid bowl of chili.
Yearbook quote: "I will never stop giving you standing ovations, for the parts of yourself that you haven't learned to clap for yet"
My Story
I always knew that I wanted to be in a helping field, especially something medically related. I quickly learned that certain aspects of becoming a doctor were not the right fit for me, so I felt uncertain of my next steps.
Personally, I knew a handful of loved ones who struggled with eating disorders, and I clearly recall as an adolescent questioning, “Why can’t they eat food? It’s so good!” I knew instinctively that there had to be more, so I sought out what the “more” could be. In my educational and professional development, I realized how complex the “more” was. To have learned what I know now, I feel a strong drive to not only support eating disorder recovery but also to intentionally challenge the deeply-rooted diet culture that we live in. I hope I can walk alongside you, whether that is your eating disorder journey or the journey of recreating your relationship with food and body.
What to expect in our first meeting:
Getting to know you, your journey, the direction you hope to head and overall rapport building! Nutrition education, counseling and support is enhanced when there is human connection.
What I hope you will get from our work:
Feelings of empowerment in the tough work you're doing, and direction that is collaborative and encouraging.
