Throughout my varied career, I have always worked at the intersection of food and people. The part I love most about being a dietitian is the opportunity to help people thrive.
As a dietitian, I have an open, creative, and light-hearted approach to counseling. I strive to meet each client’s personal needs and goals, within the parameters of their own life. As a neurodiverse individual myself, I love working with clients on the neurodiversity spectrum and understanding how those differences affect the way we perceive and experience the world through food.
Prior to becoming an outpatient dietitian, I spent 10 years working in high end restaurant kitchens in Chicago and London. I later worked for 10+ years in School Nutrition Programs, feeding children. One of my proudest professional achievements was leading the transition of our school nutrition program into a community hunger relief operation during the pandemic period. I also played competitive rugby for 15 years and enjoy working with athletes to optimize their athletic performance through nutrition.
I work with all types of eating disorders and am a certified specialist in ARFID. I also have extensive experience with diabetes, oncology, and weight management; and work effectively with all ages, including the pediatric and geriatric populations.
As a proud citizen of both the UK and the U.S., I enjoy working with all nationalities and cultural backgrounds, and understanding the unique food heritage of each person and household.
In my volunteer time, I co-facilitate a monthly men’s eating disorder group and work with a nonprofit organization providing mental health resources for the Food/Beverage/Hospitality industry.
I live in sunny Boulder, Colorado, with my wife and two teenagers, where I appreciate the opportunities to ski, whitewater raft, and hike 14ers in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
