ALL FOODS,
ALL BODIES,
ALL GENDERS.
FIND BODY PEACE
As a genderqueer transgender nutrition specialist, I understand the unique challenges facing gender diverse clients in making peace with our bodies, nutrition, and gender identity. Your work shouldn’t have to include educating your provider about your gender identity or explaining the reality of living with dysphoria. Our work together will be focused on establishing a healthy relationship to food and your own body. I aim to support your in your personal goals for recovery, improved body image, and ultimately . . . body liberation.

ABOUT
My work is based in intuitive eating and weight-neutral frameworks, and I consider myself a nutrition therapist. My work is informed by inner child/loving feeding therapy, humanistic psychology, CBT & DBT. I work very collaboratively with clients and their treatment team members to support holistic, individualized healing.
I cannot ethically guide my patients to lose weight, knowing there to be no safe, sustainable way to maintain weight loss, but I do support all of my clients to struggle with the major impacts diet culture has on our bodies and lives.
I believe that existing as a transgender person is a radial and revolutionary act, compounded by the effort to resist shrinking ourselves, and that we all deserve community and emotional support to strive to live our most authentic lives in our bodies. I am honored to be part of that support, and I sincerely look forward to witnessing you and your growth.
