About Me
At Uncovered Nutrition, every aspect of your health is a priority. Food and nutrition are key players in health, but must work in combination with joyful movement, mental health, and emotional health to create longevity and enjoyable daily habits.
I am a registered dietitian nutritionist living in Northern Virginia and serving clients primarily in VA, DC, MD, and NC. I completed both my undergraduate degree in nutrition and foods, dietetics and my master's degree in nutrition at Appalachian State University where I had a strong focus in rural health, food insecurity, agriculture, older adult nutrition, and diabetes nutrition.
I now specialize in supporting clients through eating disorder recovery, disorganized eating, disordered eating, obsession with healthy eating, body image, diabetes, PCOS, & irregular or missing periods.
I help clients understand how food nourishes and benefits our bodies so they can build healthy eating habits that are enjoyable and sustainable for years to come. I love supporting clients every step of the way and teaching them to feel empowered by understanding their body’s needs rather than seeking out endless cookie-cutter programs and social media health hacks that are just going to leave them frustrated.
I provide evidence-based, weight-neutral & diet-free nutrition education and counseling.
