I’m so glad you’re here!
Hi there,
I’m Courtney, a registered dietitian offering weight-inclusive nutrition counseling in Pennsylvania and Georgia. I’m dedicated to supporting all humans in healing eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image. I also love working with people who are managing conditions like diabetes or PCOS, or are simply wanting to feel stronger and more energized in their everyday lives. I blend evidence-based nutrition coaching with a trauma-informed, non-diet approach to exploring your relationship with food. That means:
We’ll center your values, your lived experience, and your goals
We ditch quick fixes and fads and address root causes of health concerns, measuring progress in non-scale ways (there are so, so many)
We opt out of diet culture conditioning that’s taught you that food must be earned, movement must be punishment, and smaller = better
We seek opportunities to cultivate autonomy, competence, and fierce self-compassion in your relationship with your body and food.
A little more about me…
I’m a native of Philadelphia and that’s where I currently live, but both Pittsburgh and Atlanta have little pieces of 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, GA. As an RD, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient clinical settings, moving into my private practice focused on intuitive eating and eating disorders full time in 2019. I’m a food lover, and as an intuitive eating dietitian based in Philadelphia, 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 two book clubs. I love to travel, hike, listen to podcasts, and explore my city with my sweet beagle girl, Frankie.
I’m a lifelong learner, and am continuously seeking out areas for growth in my practice. Because of this I’m able to draw from a variety of counseling approaches and techniques including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, somatic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and internal family systems therapy (IFS).
