About Keely

I have been a practicing dietitian since 2019 and have experience working as a clinical RD in the inpatient setting (2019-2022) and as an eating disorder RD in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient settings (2023-present). I am passionated about helping people recover from eating disorders and disordered eating with compassion, empathy, and a bit of humor. I have experience working with clients that have anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, and unspecified eating disorders.

Approach to care

I am aligned with Health at Every Size and provide a weight neutral approach for all of my clients. Eating disorders affect people of all shapes, sizes, ages, and genders. I am passionate about helping clients find food freedom and work to improve their body image.

Your first session with Keely

In our first session, I would love to learn about your relationship with food and your body, what has and has not worked for you in the past, your nutrition goals, your lifestyle, your medical history, and your expectations of nutrition counseling. I will provide guidance, education, and support as appropriate.
