About me
If I had a nickel for every time I muttered, "Well... here I am. Back at square one. But THIS time will be different!" ...only to end up right back in the same exhausting cycle of restricting food, bingeing on that very food, and feeling so remorseful I was beating myself up even as I took the next bite...
I'd be a millionaire.
Okay, that's a slight exaggeration.. but not by much.
I spent years wondering why I couldn't just "get it together" around food, especially when I felt so capable in every other area of my life. I carried so much shame over something that seemed so simple for everyone else. I can't tell you how many nights I ended feeling sluggish, overstuffed, discouraged, and desperate after another binge.
Then my struggle looked different.
I became convinced the answer to binge eating was... more restriction.
I eliminated entire food groups. I cleansed. I detoxed. I searched for the culprit that must be driving my "sugar addiction." I became hyper-focused on eating "clean," avoiding anything processed, toxic, or not perfectly aligned with my version of health.
A few road trips ago, I remember sitting on the curb outside a restaurant with my carefully packed/ultra-healthy meal. My friends enjoyed burgers and fries, and each others company inside.
I genuinely wanted to take care of my body.
Instead, food became rigid, stressful, even isolating.
Whether your struggle looks like binge eating, emotional eating, or obsessive healthy eating (orthorexia), the common thread is often the same: food becomes a source of stress, guilt, and self-doubt instead of nourishment, connection, and joy.
If any part of this resonates with you, you are "my people." 🥰
And I know how to help.
How I help
It got really bad.
I tried everything I could think of to "fix" myself: diets, lifestyle plans, exercise programs, supplements, therapy... even medication.
Nothing worked.
Not because I lacked willpower. Because none of those approaches addressed the root cause of my binge eating and food obsession.
Then one day I was confronted by an organic can of pineapples. (It's a long story. 😂🥹)
But in that moment, something clicked.
I realized I didn't need another plan.
I needed an entirely different approach.
I needed to stop fighting my body and start rebuilding trust with it.
So I began unlearning everything Diet and Wellness Culture had taught me. (I'm looking at you, overpriced greens drink every day).
Then I found Intuitive Eating.
And I immediately thought: What bull. Just another trendy philosophy pretending not to be a diet.
Until I learned about and implemented it 🩷
Today, I help others who are where I once was. Those who feel out of control around food, exhausted by binge eating, emotional eating, or obsessive healthy eating.
Together, we'll quiet the food noise, rebuild trust in your body, learn to cope with emotions without always turning to food, and help you enjoy your favorite foods without fear of losing control.
I know what’s possible for you!
I’ve been there
I spent years and years feeling out of control around food. I’d swing between anxious restriction and all-out bingeing; there was no in-between.
I followed diet plans and “lifestyle changes,” ran for hours every day, and then the moment I took a bite of something “forbidden,” I’d lose control for days. I ate to soothe anxiety, frustration, exhaustion, and even excitement.
Every Monday (or new month, or birthday, or New Year) was my fresh start. I’d swear this time would be different. I’d have more discipline, stricter plans, cleaner eating. But nothing changed. I felt hopeless, ashamed, and exhausted.
And then I found Intuitive Eating.
It was mind-blowing, and also, somehow, so obvious.
Intuitive Eating taught me to reconnect with my body, listen to its cues, and unlearn the lies diet culture had taught me about food, health, and worth. It’s not another diet. It’s a framework that helps you trust yourself again and learn how to care for your body with compassion, not control.
Who I am
Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor
Clinical Pharmacist (PharmD)
Integrative Health Practitioner
BA in Psychology.
My background in healthcare and psychology allows me to blend the science of the body with the psychology of behavior change, all while centering compassion and real-life practicality.
My approach isn’t just about healing your relationship with food. It’s about helping you build trust, self-compassion, and freedom around food so you can focus on the things that truly matter.
On the other side..
If someone had told me years ago that I could:
Eat a few cookies and feel satisfied
Keep my old binge foods in the house and forget they’re even there
Go on vacation without obsessing about what or how much I’ll eat
…I would have laughed and said, “That’s impossible for me.”
But it’s not impossible. It’s my reality now, and I know it can be yours, too.
Today, I feel peaceful around food. I nourish my body with care, not control. And I help other people do the same. Food freedom isn’t a fantasy. It’s what happens when you stop fighting your body and start trusting it again.
