I am a registered dietitian, nutrition therapist, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C), size inclusive provider, and registered yoga teacher with 15 years of experience working with eating disorders and body image concerns. Originally from the Pacific NW, I relocated and made new roots in Southern New England in 2009.
I discovered my curiosity for working with others, passion for nutrition science, and how the human body works at a young age. I’ve enthusiastically dedicated my career to helping others find peace and enjoyment in their relationship with food, and deeply passionate about the treatment of eating disorders, helping clients navigate to full recovery, and deconstructing diet culture. All of this through the lens of compassion, trauma informed best practice, and inclusivity. While I work with a variety of clients with nourishment concerns, I have a special interest in working with LGBTQIA+ and gender expansive clients. I understand that becoming more attuned to internal wisdom about wants and needs is not easy, and yet hold space for patience, practice, reflection, and encourage a ton of aligned providers around you no matter the outcome.
In every session, I work to bring joyful energy, thoughtfulness, and warmth into the nutrition counseling process. I practice a respect and dignity for whole person model, to develop a supportive, sustainable nourishment path with each person.
In addition to individual counseling, I offer professional supervision & consultation to RDs. I look forward to working with you!

"Liz and I have worked together on eating disorder cases. Liz is a nutritionist, and I am a therapist. She and I also are part of a professional peer group in which we consult and advise on cases. In this group, Liz and I also receive support to make sure that our team goals are aligned with the needs of the client. I highly recommend Liz as a nutritionist. Eating disorders can have a tight grip on clients, and clients can feel very defeated in their fight against the eating disorder and their desire for recovery. I often request that Liz participate on eating disorders clinical teams. Liz is a very experienced, knowledgeable clinician who is masterful at meeting clients where they are at - seeing where they are ready to make shifts in their food intake. Liz is also kind and supportive, setting up an environment where clients feel free to share their food challenges and to move away from the places they feel so stuck around food. She is a joy to work with, and the eating disorder field is lucky to have her."
- Hannah Saxe, LICSW • May 2016"I work with Liz in collaboration on eating disorder cases. She is fantastic. Liz has an incredible way with clients. She is clear, compassionate and thoroughly invested in the person and their needs. She practices ongoing stellar collaboration. With eating disorder cases, it’s extremely important have every team member on the same page because of the facets of the disease. Liz sees the whole person holistically. She's amazing, and I love working together. I would send her all my clients if her office was closer to Massachusetts!n"
