About Sydney
Hi there! My name is Sydney and I am excited to be part of your nutrition journey. I am a native Wisconsinite and a huge Wisconsin Badger fan! After my own struggles with food/nutrition, I surprisingly found a passion within the nutrition field after taking my first Nutri Sci class in undergrad. From there, I was hooked! I am fascinated by the complexity of nutrition and mental health within the space of eating disorders, and geared my education towards this interest. I work in ED treatment within partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care, with experience with anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, avoidant restrictive intake food disorder, other specified feeding and eating disorder (OSFED), atypical anorexia, etc. I also have worked with individuals with disordered eating, such as emotional eating. I am hoping to give clients a supported space to work on their eating and give them the tools they need to help further their recovery.
Approach to care
Appointments will be individualized and collaborative. My approach focuses on creating goals that feel doable and fit within your lifestyle, while also feeling the changes made in our sessions are sustainable. By using my experience and education, I aim to create an environment that is without judgement and open-minded.
Your first session with Sydney
Our first session will focus on you and your story with your eating disorder, disordered eating or emotional eating. I want to understand what you've been going through to help gain a better understanding of what you need from a dietitian while you are on your recovery journey. I hope to create a safe space while talking about vulnerable topics!
