I’m so glad you’re here!
Hi there,
I’m Courtney, a registered dietitian of 12 years offering weight-inclusive nutrition counseling in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and across the US. I’m dedicated to helping people build confidence and trust in their ability to nourish themselves. I’m doing my life’s work when I’m in the trenches with my clients, breaking food rules, facing fears, and building an arsenal of positive eating experiences that lead to long-lasting peace with food. Less stress around food means more freedom to live a truly authentic and values-aligned life.
I’m a Health at Every Size®-aligned provider, I am neurodiversity- and LGBTQ+-affirming, and practice trauma-informed healthcare. (Check out the FAQs for more info on these terms). Below you can find a list of my degrees, credentials, and license information.
I love, love, love to learn about theories, skills, modalities, and techniques that might support me in my work with clients, so I’ve collected a diverse assortment of tools I can implement when providing nutrition counseling for eating behavior change. Concepts that inform my counseling style include Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Polyvagal Theory (nervous system connection and regulation), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy.
A little more about me…
I’m a Philly girl and LOVE my city, but have lived in both Pittsburgh and Atlanta, two cities that have left their marks on my heart. I earned my bachelor’s degree in English Writing from the University of Pittsburgh. After working for several fun years in the field of restaurant operations for a restaurant group in the ‘Burgh, I went on to earn my master’s degree in Human Nutrition from Drexel University in Philly, and I completed my dietetic internship at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta. As an RD, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient clinical settings, moving into my private practice focused on weight-inclusive nutrition counseling full time in 2019. I’m a food lover, and I am lucky to have hundreds of yummy top-notch restaurants at my doorstep (I’m also perfectly content to munch on a Philly pretzel). I’m an avid reader and I’m in a book club. I love history, traveling, hiking, listening to podcasts, and exploring my city with my sweet beagle girl, Frankie.
