In my short life thus far, I have been exposed to an educational feast of the humanities—spanning theater, art, and travel; theology and psychology; yoga and nutrition; neuroscience and metabolic medicine. Most recently, I earned a Masters in Nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon with a focus on metabolic medicine and holistic mental health (2021), and a second Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University (2026). In addition to my clinical expertise in blood sugar dysregulation and metabolic disorders, I bring a background in art and restorative yoga to my work with bodies and their nervous systems. I completed my yoga training through The People’s Yoga in Portland, Oregon (2019) and was awarded “Miss Congeniality” in Middle School Band for chatting incessantly with my neighbors (2005). In my free time I can be found feeding the birds and fermenting a variety of comestibles in my THOW (Tiny House On Wheels).

I transitioned into mental health counseling to complement my career in the nutritional and medical management of eating disorders and metabolic dysregulation (hyper/hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, diabetes, etc). I describe my counseling style as experiential and body-centered built upon Feminist, Attachment and Gestalt theories. Alongside treating eating disorders, I use functional nutrition and blood sugar management to address mood disorders.

I offer experiential and body-centered therapy. In addition to talk therapy, my interventions aim to nourish interoception, the experience of one’s internal experience. Better interoception helps people understand what their body is telling them and respond with greater intention and balance.
