Hi, I'm Lisa (she/her)! I'm a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in eating disorders and religious/spiritual trauma.

My journey into this work is personal. In middle and high school, my own unhealthy relationship with food, exercise, and my body made me very sick. A dietitian helped change my life—and since 2017, I've been pursuing this path to help others who are struggling.

I've provided nutrition therapy across multiple levels of care—from the highest levels of care inpatient and residential to PHP and virtual outpatient settings. I've worked with many clients with diverse backgrounds and complex trauma histories over the years.

I know that dietitians are notorious for being the food police. We have the potential to further exacerbate guilt and shame with eating, exercise, weight, and body image. It is my mission to create a safe space for you in every session—where you feel a non-judgmental, compassionate, and empowering presence supporting and guiding you in your nutritional wellness journey.

I provide compassionate, trauma-informed, and evidence-based nutrition therapy dedicated to honoring your complex relationship with food, movement, and your body welcoming all gender identities, sexual orientations, and self-expressions. I will guide you through evidence-based strategies to help you access your own inner wisdom and provide assistance where you get stuck. Whether you are underweight, in a larger body, or anywhere in between, I welcome the opportunity to help you achieve your goals.

When working with eating disorders, I use CBT-E—the most evidence-based treatment for adults seeking outpatient eating disorder treatment.

My counseling style is inspired by Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

My training includes:

• Master's degree in Nutrition and Health Promotion (Eating Disorder Concentration)

• dietetic internship (eating disorders, sports nutrition)

• Bachelor's degree in Food and Nutrition

• Certification in CBT-E for Eating Disorders

• Certification in Religious Trauma Studies
