About Me

Hi! I’m Maya, a Registered Dietitian with a passion for providing evidence-based, culturally competent care that supports clients in improving their relationships with food, mind, and body. I have experience in adolescent and adult health, body image concerns, disordered eating, and eating disorders including: Binge Eating Disorder (BED), Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder (OSFED), anorexia, bulimia, and orthorexia.

As a second generation Lebanese American, I understand what it’s like to grow up at the intersection of multiple cultures—and views on food! I believe that we are all capable of cultivating healthy relationships with our bodies that are a reflection of the multidimensional human beings we are. Using the approaches of Intuitive Eating, All Foods Fit, and Health at Every Size (HAES), I guide clients to shed diet rules and restrictions and tune into their body’s unique internal wisdom. Step by step, you can build confidence in your eating patterns and achieve long-lasting positive health outcomes. I can’t wait to go on this journey with you!
